INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare a grill on high heat. You can use a griddle pan or an
electric grill. I am using an electric grill
Brush oil on both the sides of the bread and grill till they
are nicely marked
(about 1 minute per side)
Remove bread and keep aside
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on over tomato, onion, lettuce
and chicken till they are nicely coated.
Place them on the grill
Keep turning the vegetables with a tong frequently – you don’t
want anything burnt!
Cook the lettuce till the outer leaves are turning brown
After 5 minutes take them off in a bowl
In a separate bowl combine – Red Wine Vinegar, remaining 2
tablespoon oil, seasoning, Oregano and minced garlic
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad
Serve with the grilled breads

Don’t use over ripe tomato – you won’t like how they look
after grilling
