Add a little low calorie cooking spray to a pan, and allow it to heat. Add the chicken substitute, and allow it to defrost. When defrosted, add the spices, mix thoroughly, and allow one to two minutes to bloom. If using chicken then cook for a few minutes before adding the spices and cooking until completely cooked throughout.

Once you’re satisfied, remove from the heat, and set aside to cool.

Next, prepare your salad ingredients: wash the spinach, drain and rinse the beans, and deseed and dice the jalapeno pepper.

Finally, mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl or cool saucepan. After tossing, taste for seasoning. If you’re happy, plate up, if not, optionally add a little olive oil, and some salt and pepper.
