Spinach, Carrot, Egg and Chicken Salad


Bit Bit was thinking of using the leftover spinach and chicken breast to make a meal. It has also been some time since Bit Bit last ate salad, so Bit Bit decided to add an egg and some carrots to make the salad tastier and with more nutrition.

This dish took about 20 minutes to finish making.

Things that Bit Bit found out about Spinach, Carrot, Egg and Chicken Salad:
  • To make the chicken shreds for the salad, cutting the chicken meat into medium pieces will ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and the exterior would not be cooked till too 'old', instead of cooking the whole chicken meat on its own.
  • For this salad, one can choose any dressing that one prefers, and adjust it according to one's taste.
  • If one does not like the raw taste of vegetables, one can boil the vegetables slightly to remove the raw taste. Bit Bit boiled the vegetables slightly.

  1. Baby Spinach - 2 Bunches (About 350gm)

  3. Carrot - 1/4 Large Whole
