Fresh salads are super good for your body and they look so appetizing. The Lettuce, Grilled Tomato and Chicken Salad is colorful, fresh and super yum. I made this for my breakfast today and made a healthy start to the day!
This #AtoZChallenge is making sure I am eating right this month.

- Remove bread and keep aside
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on over tomato, onion, lettuce and chicken till they are nicely coated.
- Place them on the grill
- Keep turning the vegetables with a tong frequently – you don’t want anything burnt!

- After 5 minutes take them off in a bowl
- In a separate bowl combine – Red Wine Vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoon oil, seasoning, Oregano and minced garlic
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad

Notes
Don’t use over ripe tomato – you won’t like how they look after grilling
Try and tell me if you liked it or not.
Until next time, Cheers!
