GRILLED CHICKEN SPINACH SALAD

This salad is delicious. I don't know the exact fat or carb content because I changed the recipe. It originally had 9 fat grams, 2 saturated and 33 carbs. I have removed eggs, mushrooms and peppers and added zucchini and capers. I don't use the bacon. I love the sweet and tartness of this salad. I hijacked this photo from Betty, you know, Mrs Crocker. I forgot to take my own photo and that won't happen again. I do like that hers has almonds and fresh raspberries.
