1 Make a bed of spinach in a salad bowl or on a large plate. Top with avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, bocconcini, quinoa, and chicken (if using).
2 In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, and chopped basil leaves. Whisking continuously, gradually pour in oil until emul-sified. Drizzle portion over salad. Reserve remaining dressing for dinner.
3 Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
Life Made Easier: To quickly ripen an avocado, place it in a bowl or a brown paper bag with a banana and it will be ripe enough to eat the next day. But watch out, the avocado will ripen fast, so if left for more than a day it will start to go brown.
Grab and Go: Make recipe as directed, but keep cherry tomatoes whole, put dressing in a separate resealable container, and store in the refrigerator. When you are ready to eat, drizzle dressing over salad and enjoy.
