Tomato Salad

1 pint of grape tomatoes
1 can of small black olives
1 small red onion
4 oz. of fresh mozzarella
1 small bunch of fresh basil
2 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. of red wine vinegar
1/2 tbsp. of dried oregano
1 tsp. of garlic powder
1 tsp. of freshly cracked black pepper
1 tsp. of salt

Get a cutting board and a large mixing bowl. Chop all of the tomatoes in half and put them in the bowl. Next chop the fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces. Then, dice the red onion. Next, pour the mozzarella, onion, and black olives into the bowl with the tomatoes. Dress the salad with the remaining ingredients, and refrigerate for at least an hour or two. Serve chilled or room-temperature.

I just use marinated chicken breast. (Today I marinated it in dill, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, balsamic vinegar, EVOO and minced garlic).
I can't stand lettuce, so I only use cut up veggies. Carrots, cauliflower, radishes, celery and cucumber.
