Grilled marinated chicken and farmers market veggie salad

Last night I wanted a simple dinner.  I had some chicken cutlets (free range, anitbiotic free brand as always).  I sliced and pounded them thin.  I took out the bunch of basil I got at the farm, cleaned it in my salad spinner, threw it in my mini food processor and pureed.  Then made a quick italian style vinagrette in a dijon mustard bottle.  3 parts extra virgin olive oil to 1 part of my fabulous JD farms balsamic.  Added some basil puree and chopped garlic and italian seasoning.  Marinated the cutlets in there for about 1/2 hour.  Then took out my grill pan.  Preheated it to high.  Grilled them about 2 minutes on each side, till done.
Then went into my organic mesclun greens bag (from Ramsey farms on Sunday), rinsed those in the salad spinner, put in a bowl with chopped red onion, yellow plum tomatoes , some chopped organic baby spinach and grilled mushrooms.


Saved some of the vinagrette for the salad with an additional drizzle of balsamic.  Have to say , it was a quick, healthy dinner.  If you're vegan do the same thing with sliced portabella mushrooms
