Lukewarm salad with chicken strips, noodles and kimchi

This zesty salad achieves the impossible - it's light, filling and tasty. The notes of spicy vegetables such as radishes and kimchi meet the earthy taste of spinach, meat and noodles to form a perfect harmony. We eat it throughout the day to awaken the palate. This salad also stores well, but you probably won't have that problem.
