Ok, enough with the carbs! lol<\/em> I'm just kidding<\/em>.
I've been posting any kind of carb these past few weeks though, so now let me introduce you to a lighter dish: my spinach goat cheese salad with pecans, sweet potatoes and a delicious maple vinaigrette<\/strong>! To die for!
Carbs are still there (sweet potatoes), so don't worry: I'll never abandon them! Oh NO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can consider this a side dish or a complete meal your choice: it has vitamins, fibers, carbs, fats and proteins<\/strong> as well, what more could you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My spinach goat cheese salad is here to become your favorite salad ever.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was half serious when I told you - above - 'enough with the carbs'<\/em>. I have and I will never cut carbs out of my diet, but these past few weeks I've been overwhelmed with rich-in-carbs recipes: bread, babka, cinnamon buns, focaccia etc.
Don't get me wrong: I consider them part of my diet, in moderation. But I need something lighter now...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, last week I was craving a giant salad...and baby spinach...and sweet potatoes. And pecans and maple vinaigrette. Ok, no wonder I'm posting this!
I let the weekend pass (because I was visiting my parents on Saturday and Sunday), and on Monday I went buying all the stuff.
It always happens: whenever I crave a food\/recipe, I become extremely impatient and I champ at the bit to turn my hands on it. Like in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spinach goat cheese salad is special, it's not your average spinach salad.
<\/strong>If you've been following me for a while now you know that I LOVE sweet and savory, so no wonder I'm in love with this big bowl of goodness and its balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
I prepared this right before lunch, today (Tuesday), then put it into an airtight container so my boyfriend could bring it at work with him. He just told me it was just like freshly made and so good (regarding me, I'm about to eat it!). I guess, then, that you can consider it a perfect meal to \"meal-prep\"!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving my two cents: if you prepare it in advance, do not add the goat cheese and the vinaigrette until the very last moment, otherwise your spinach leaves will \"dunk\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
