This delicious and filling salad, rich in vitamins and beneficial micronutrients, is ready in less than 15 minutes. It's the perfect dinner for lazy people. Simply add the yogurt dressing ingredients to a blender and mix them together, then toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan. The base of the salad is grilled chicken (leftovers are fine) and reheated frozen rice. Freezing cooked rice not only helps on days when you can't cook, it also lowers the glycemic index of the rice, which reduces some of its less-than-healthy properties. Toss the salad with plenty of fresh spinach, juicy red grapes, and dressing, and enjoy its stunning combination of contrasting textures and flavors.
