Honey-Mustard Salad
"Delicious combination made with leftovers. My husband and daughter loved it! Baby spinach leaves were perfect for this. I made a sauce of yellow mustard, honey and mayo (until it looked good, no measuring) and baked my chicken in it for dinner one night. This is my masterplan for the leftover chicken."

ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
- 3 slices crumbled cooked bacon
- 1 small onion, sliced thin
- 16 ounces boneless skinless chicken, cold (Preferably leftover from honey mustard chicken)
- 3⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
make a dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 5 tablespoons spicy mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon poppy seed
directions
- I tossed the spinach, bacon and onion together in a large bowl.
- I pulled out my leftover honey-mustard chicken and chopped it into small pieces.
- When I added this to my salad, the remnants of honey-mustard sauce got on my salad, but not enough!
- In a small bowl I mixed about 5 TBS of spicy mustard, 2 TBS honey and 1 TBS mayo.
- I added some poppyseeds, but it isn't necessary.
- I lightly tossed this into the salad and sprinkled top with large handful of cheddar cheese. YUM!
- Play around with the measurements to what you like. It was simple and used up a lot of little things I had lying around.

I used to be a fearless cook and baker. I would try anything. My husband has never been much of a "food" person, so regardless of what I make, its covered in BBQ sauce.
Last year my daughter was diagnosed with SPD, ADHD, and Aspergers so I have overhauled all my cooking knowledge and whipped myself around into gluten-free casein-free cooking (and rarely) baking. It was so hard at first, but I think I've gotten the hang of it now, and have become adventurous once more with things we can eat. Yes, I turned my entire house GFCF. It turns out she carries 2 genes for gluten intolerance (your welcome, hunny) plus I think it would be crappy to eat a big slice of pizza in front of a 5 year old who already has the unfortunate circumstance of not ever being able to eat birthday cake that is at a party, or have candy torn away from her in her Kindergarten Halloween party. Its difficult to explain to her that she can't ever eat anything someone else gives her, we must read the labels first. Our vigilance keeps her from slipping further into autism. Her food intolerances have become a part of her identity and she states that shes allergic to gluten and dairy with her own introduction. It makes me feel proud that she understands that its important and sad that what she eats is defining her to herself. Things will always get better...
