Spinach and Chicken Salad with Cranberries
Make on FrescoSteaming chicken in your Thermomix is seriously one of the easiest ways to have dinner on the table in summer that I know of.
Think any salad, sliced chicken breast and then a killer dressing...you're ready! You could pre-steam chicken breast, slice them and freeze them in small serving sized portions, make your salad while the chicken thaws in your lunch box...keeping everything cold. SO easy. So very Simple. (Summer is coming...think of the possibilities!)

Obviously this salad can easily be increased in volume to serve your crowd of choice. More chicken breast, more salad, probably there is enough dressing to go the distance but you could increase it if you needed to.
