Sounds good. Too bad I can't have the eggs.

We have a restaurant who features a Bistro salad on tuesdays(why I don't
know:-) It is quite different from the Kraft one, consisting of tons of
baby spinach leaves, sliced pimentos(the marinated red peppers that come
in jars) crisp cooked string beans, thinly sliced red onions and toped
with goat cheese. I eat it with my owne oil/balsamic vinegar dressign I
make right at the restaurant table with some salt and pepper. t is very
good
! I can't give quantities as I have never made it, just eaten it for a
lovely summer lunch.

I think chicken or tuna would work just as well. Some legume beans too.
