    I just had it. It's basically the salad version of this special sandwich I order whenever I go to Au Bon Pain. I don't know why I never made this since I love all these things together. This will be my new staple. Try it! What's your favorite combo?

    483 calories

    -7 oz grilled chicken breast
    -1 oz feta
    -2 tbsp basil pesto (whole foods brand)
    -4 leaves of romaine lettuce
    -1/2 roma tomato
    -6 kalamata olives

      My FAVORITE is.....

      Grilled chicken breast cooked with hot sauce on top

      lettuce topped with radishes, celery, cucumbers, onions, banana peppers, carrots, tomatoes, onion powder, mrs.dash seasoning, italian seasoning, nosalt salt, garlic powder

      2tbsp kraft light balsamic vinagrette, 2-4tbsp walden farms 0 calorie honey dijon dressing (I like my salads with a lot of dressing), some extra hot sauce on top, a bit of mustard on top

      Topped with the chicken breast. It is SO good and I make a massive salad for 180-300 calories (depending on size of chicken breast).

      Wow that's a super salad! I've never used powders/seasonings in mine I might do some experimenting.

      Yeah mine is a little high in cals for a salad, the basil pesto is 140 calories for 2 tbsp but it's worth it. I usually use it on an omelet or on a flatbread "pizza".

      I hate pesto. I do love a greek salad though - so skip the pesto and substitute some other greek "dressing" and I'm totally with you.
