SPINACH SALAD WITH CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE SALSA
I had left over grilled chicken and some pineapple salsa, so I threw these things together. You can use rotisserie chicken and/or peach salsa instead. Eliminate the tequila if you don't want to use alcohol. Prep time includes marinating the pineapple.

Steps:
- 1. For Pineapple Salsa: marinade pineapple in a small bowl with the tequila, half the lime juice and the brown sugar for at least 1/2 hour.
- 2. Heat skillet with coconut oil, add pineapple. Saute on medium-hot until pineapple has browned a bit, turning so each side gets browned. Remove from pan.
- 3. Mix cooled pineapple, onion and pepper together in a small bowl. Add cilantro, olive oil, the rest of the lime juice, salt and pepper.
- 4. If you don't have left-over chicken, pan-fry or grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper while pineapple is marinating.
- 5. Dice or shred chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- 6. For the salad: Divide spinach between 4 large salad bowls. Top with chicken and pineapple salsa. Drizzle each portion with vinaigrette.
