Kale Chicken Tomato Salad #1 and #2

The chicken breast strips in the salads were dusted with spices before putting in the skillet - a bit of each - coriander, cardamon, cinnamon, curry, nutmeg, turmeric, pepper, Mrs Dash; and then some sherry and a splash of pomegranate mango juice before covering to finish cooking.

Salad #1
Layer these ingredients (I made 2 layers):
1 cup Kale, ripped to bite size pieces
1 fig, chopped
1 nectarine, chopped
12 cherries, pitted and halved
20 grape tomatoes, halved
45 grams of chicken breast strips, diced
1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Dress with 2 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil Dressing (Safeway)

Rated a 4.66 on the Kale Scale.

Salad #2 - a simpler version

Build from bottom up:
1 cup Kale, ripped to bite size pieces
20 grape tomatoes, halved
45 grams of chicken breast strips, diced
2 Tbsp of Annie's Tuscany Salad Dressing (no added sugar)

Rated a 4.667 on the Kale Scale - gets an edge because of ease in prep.
