Less than $10 Dinner Salad

This was a recipe I pulled out of a Rachael Ray Magazine. It advertised a dinner for $10 or less and it was not a lie. This salad is so simple. You could swap out a couple of the ingredients to change it up if you want, but its good as is! Roasted tomatoes, grilled chicken, fresh dressing... enjoy!!

Ingredients:

5 T EVOO

2 T fresh lemon juice

1 T balsamic vinegar

Salt and Pepper

15 oz can cannellini beans, rinsed

4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeds discarded

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1.25 pounds)

1 bunch scallions, sliced

1-2 bags of fresh lettuce (chose whatever varieties you like!)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees

2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 T EVOO, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cannellini beans

3. Place tomatoes cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 T of the EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Bake until very soft, about 30 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, preheat grill, or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush chicken with remaining T of EVOO. Season with salt and grill, turning once until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes per side.

5. Add lettuce to the bean mixture and toss to coat. Divide salad among plates and top with the roasted tomatoes and scallions. Thinly slice the chicken on the diagonal and divide among the plates.

Enjoy :)
