Viva la diet!!!! This is a great salad that is satisfying and figure-friendly and is ready in a cinch!

It combines the sharpness of dark mixed greens with the sweetness of grape tomatoes and the bouquet of savory vinaigrette. Can be served as lunch or as an appetizer.

Makes two hearty portions that brown bag very well.

Ingredients:

4 cups of mixed greens or flat leaf lettuce
1 cup grape tomatoes
2 half chicken breast chopped
2 cloves garlic peeled
stripped leaves of 1 spring fresh rosemary
6 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Fresh ground pepper to taste

Heat 2 Tbsp of the olive oil in a heavy skillet, toss in the rosemary leaves and the garlic cloves and stir. Add the chicken and let cook. The oil will now infuse the chicken with flavor. Meanwhile, toss the mixed greens in a bowl with the remaining oil and vinegar till all leaves are evenly coated, assemble the mixture on the serving plates. Place the tomatoes and the cooked chicken, ground pepper and serve immediately.
