Easiest Lunch EVER


We love a healthy dose of EVOO, the good fat, and this pasta salad with grilled chicken es muy delicioso y facil. Total time is pretty much however long it takes you to grill a piece of chicken make some pasta. Ready...GO:

Boil water, add a little salt and EVOO to the pot
Heat grilling device (LOVE the griddle/grilling surface you can buy for a 4 burner stove, great for apartments, worth the $$)
While things are heating up and whatnot combine the following things in a mixing bowl:
1/4 cup EVOO
good hand full of fresh green beans (or fresh seasonal veg of choice, sliced zuch or summer squash are also good)
chunks of 1 large or 2 small fresh tomatoes (totally optional, Meg L thats for you)
fresh ground sea salt (Trader Joe's sells awesome disposable salt and pepper grinders)
fresh ground pepper
- toss this all around and give the veg a good coating in the oil

Grill chicken breast, slice when done
Cook enough pasta for 2ish servings (whole wheat pasta is really perfect with this healthy mix of goodness)

Toss pasta and chicken in with marinating veg deliciousness.
Eat without shame or abandon, and put left overs in fridge for another glorious day!
