(Hungry Girl)
When a salad is packed with this many toppings it usually means it’s also packed with a hefty amount of fat and calories- but not with a Hungry Girl salad.

Ingredients:
6 stalks asparagus
2 cups eggplant cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
2 artichoke hearts packed in water, drained, halved lengthwise
One 3-oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast cutlet, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Dash each salt and black pepper
2 tbsp. frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed
2 tbsp. bagged sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), chopped
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 oz. (about 2 tbsp.) diced avocado
2 tbsp. low-fat or fat-free balsamic vinaigrette
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Lay asparagus, eggplant, bell pepper, and artichoke hearts on the baking sheet. Bake until softened, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and black pepper and place in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Roughly chop asparagus and artichoke hearts. Transfer all cooked veggies to a medium bowl. Add corn and sun-dried tomatoes, and toss to mix.
Place lettuce in a large bowl (or on a large plate) and top with veggie mixture and avocado. Slice chicken and lay it on top.
In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk vinaigrette with mustard. Pour mixture over salad or serve on the side. Enjoy.
