Summer is all about quick and easy salads using fresh ingredients you have on hand. Here, I simply took the ingredients from one of my all-time Italian favorites - the classic Caprese salad - and turned it into a meal by adding whole wheat pasta and some grilled chicken breast.

Ingredients:

• Olive oil
  
• Balsamic vinegar
  
• A clove of garlic
  
• Lots of fresh basil leaves
  
• Half-pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  
• Whole wheat pasta. I used chiocciole but any shape will do.
  
• 1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  
• Part-skim mozzarella cheese
