Mushroom spinach caprese salad!

#salad #recipes #instagoodness #healthyrecipes #healthyeating #healthyfood

This salad is Sooooooo good! And easy! Lightly sautee chopped or sliced baby bell mushrooms 3 to 4 minutes medium to low heat in olive oil, for the last 1 minute mix in fresh spinach (lightly cooking your spinach allows the release of more nutrients!) Remove from heat add halved cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls. Then dress as desired with olive oil, balsamic vinegar salt and pepper! I like to chill for 5 minutes then eat, but it's still really good warm when I don't want to wait!

Healthy Chicken Mediterranean "Pizza"

Quick Recipe for my "healthy" "paleo" "clean" blah blah GOOD and Good for YOU chicken mediterranean pizza. Sorry I didn't really pay attention enough to make a real recipe.

ITEMS NEEDED
-butternut squash

- garlic salt
- cooked chicken diced or  shredded
- mushrooms

Slice butternut squash horizontally to make 1/2 inch disks. Cook in frying pan with just a little bit of oil. (I used coconut oil) enough to brown up each side a bit and soften the squash enough that a fork passes completely through with light to moderate resistance…  Set in a baking dish and brush on an olive oil, garlic salt, marjoram, rosemary and oregano mixture.

Top with a few spinach leaves, already cooked chicken (with garlic salt on it), sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers, diced sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese crumbles

bake covered on 375 from 15 minutes
