My Favorite Chicken Salad, Mediterranean Eating Friendly

Chicken, Fruit, Veggies, Greens, and a Balsamic Vinegar Reduction. What could be better?

   Have you ever eaten something with aBalsamic Vinegar reduction drizzled over it? Fruit, Cheese, Tossed Salad, etc? Have you ever ordered a Caprese Salad appetizer in a restaurant?  Very expensive for a few slices of Tomato, Mozzarella,Fresh Basil, and drizzled with Olive Oil and a Balsamic Vinegar Reduction.  SO easy to make your own.  Anyway, I made a Salad out of various Greensand Veggies.  I placed cut-up Fruitaround the edge, and plopped a leftover grilled Chicken Breast on top.  I drizzled with a Balsamic Vinegar reduction,and dug in!!!  So healthy.  So good!

     Feelfree to grill your Chicken just for this dish, but to me it makes sense when BBQingChicken to grill a few extra pieces to save for this delicious Salad!  For an informal dinner, I think putting out variouscontainers with all the Salad Ingredients and letting people make their own wouldbe fun!

PREPARATION OFBALSAMIC VINEGAR REDUCTION IS SIMPLE:      Simply pour your favorite Balsamic Vinegarin a pan and let it simmer until it’s the consistency you want.  It only takes a few minutes, so don’t walkaway.  (Some people like to add Honey,but I think the Vinegar reduction is sweet enough).

    Feel free todrizzle a little Olive Oil over the Greens also. 

Here’s what I puton my Salad:

GrilledChicken, your choice of cut

Baby Spinach

Arugula

Fresh Basil

RomaineLettuce

Onions,sliced

Green Olives

KalamataOlives

CherryTomatoes

Cucumbers

Strawberries

Raspberries

Grapes

Watermelon

For Cheese, either sliced Fresh Mozzarella or Feta would be great.  Stop looking for the Cheese on my Salad.  There isn’t any ☹  I was out of both.  Yes, I cried a little.
