Ingredients

Servings

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise light
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 Tbsp parsley finely minced, fresh
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 garlic minced, large clove
  • salt freshly ground
  • black pepper freshly ground

Salad

  • 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast boneless skinless
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil plus more for brushing grill
  • salt freshly ground
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 romaine lettuce chopped, large head
  • 1 cucumber peeled and chopped, medium
  • 1 (10.5 oz) pkg. grape tomatoes halved, or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup croutons (optional)
  • 1/2 cup black olive sliced
  • 1/3 cup red onion rinsed under water, chopped
  • Parmesan Cheese for serving, finely shredded
  • 4 Pepperoncini for serving (optional

Instructions

  1. To make the dressing: Add all dressing ingredients to a blender, season with salt and pepper to taste (I used about 3/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper). Blend well. Chill until ready to use.
  2. To grill the chicken: Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to 425 degrees. Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound chicken to an even thickness with the flat side of a meat mallet. 
  3. Brush chicken with olive oil then season both sides with salt and pepper. Brush grill grates lightly with oil, place chicken on grill and cook about 3 - 5 minutes per side (center should register 165). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and rest 10 minutes, then cut into cubes.
  4. To make the salad: Place all remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl (or plate individually) and toss. Pour dressing over salad, top with desired amount of parmesan. Add a pepper to each serving if desired and serve immediately after adding dressing.
