The ingredients for Meal Sized Strawberry Spinach Salad are:

* 8 cups fresh spinach
* 1.5 pint (or about 2 cups) strawberries, sliced
* 1/2 of a red onion, finely chopped
* 2 cups chickpeas (garbanzo beans) - can use canned beans, rinsed and drained, or 2 cups final volume cooked from dry beans (nutritional calculation is based on canned beans)
* 1 small pkg (~150 g) soft reduced-fat goat cheese
* 0.5 cup poppy seed salad dressing (I use Renee's reduced fat, reflected in the calorie count here)
* 0.5 cup salted sunflower seeds

Here is how you make Meal Sized Strawberry Spinach Salad:

1) Combine spinach, sliced strawberries, chopped onion, and chickpeas in a large bowl. 2) Drizzle with poppy seed dressing, tossing to coat.3) Portion out salad into 4 bowls.4) Garnish each serving with 1/4 of the goat cheese (slided finely or loosely crumbled, according to your preference) and 1/4 of the sunflower seeds. This salad keeps in the fridge up to 2 days, even when tossed with dressing. However, if you're planning to save a serving ot two, or to make-ahead, I would recommend not adding the goat cheese or the sunflower seeds until just before serving - both will lose some of their disctinctive flavour and texture if left to sit in the salad for more than a few hours.
