ROSEY DALEY'S GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD
This is an oldie-but-goodie, from "In the Kitchen with Rosie: Oprah's Favorite Recipes" by Rosie Daley, who was once Oprah's personal chef. Bursting with flavor, this salad only has 176 calories per serving. It is delicious and I admit, I had forgotten about it as I had lost the book in one of my many moves and recently ran across it again. Perfect to help you slip back into that little black dress...without feeling like you're eating cardboard. Notes: Marinate the chicken in the seasoned lemon juice, soy sauce and garlic mixture for up to 2 hours; the longer it marinates, the more flavorful and tender the chicken. For variety, substitute an equal amount of lime or grapefruit juice for the lemon juice in the marinade.
