Warm Salad


Many times I feel like eating something light and healthy but I'm not in the mood for a cold salad. And stir-fries usually leave me with a plate of mushy vegetables that don't feel anywhere near fresh and light. That's why I decided to try making a simple warm salad that still feels fresh and crisp.


Ingredients:
2 cups red cabbage, chopped
2 cups spinach, chopped
1 cup baby carrots, chopped
1/2 cup white onions, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 can fully cooked turkey breast (12.5 oz)
Salt & Pepper

Directions:
Heat olive oil, then add the onions. Once onions are cooked, incorporate the red cabbage, carrots, spinach and broth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer in very low heat until carrots and red cabbage are tender. Be careful that the vegetables don't get overcooked and mushy (include the spinach last, since it's the easiest to overcook). Bring in the turkey breast and fold until everything is evenly mixed.

This is can work great as a light lunch or a side dish.
