Ingredients




For the salad:
2 large chicken breasts
2 small yellow squash
2 small zucchini
1 large red pepper
Salt and pepper
20 Kalamata olives (about 5 per salad)
½ red onion, sliced thinly into rings and separated
10 ounces cherry tomatoes cut in half
4 ounces French Feta, crumbled (regular feta if preferred)
5 ounces mixed lettuce greens
For The Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing:
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
3 tablespoons aged Balsamic Vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1 Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper and spray with Canola cooking spray. Cook on a 450 degree grill for 6 minutes on the first side and 5 minutes on the second. Be sure to temp the chicken to be sure it reads 165 degrees. 2 Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, slice width-wise into ¼ inch slices. 3 Cut squash, zucchini and red pepper in half lengthwise. Salt and pepper liberally and spray with canola cooking spray. Grill for 4 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the other side. Let rest for 5 minutes. 4 Slice squash and zucchini on the diagonal. Cut pepper into long one-inch wide slices and then cut each slice on the diagonal into ½ inch pieces. 5 Mix all the ingredients together for the vinaigrette dressing. 6 Place a bed of mixed greens on each plate, then layer on grilled veggies, onions, olives, and feta. Top with you grilled chicken slices and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
