leftovers salad

i made 2 different salads the past 2 nights and had some left over herbs and veggies i wanted to use. so i loosely followed one of the recipes in the book and made this:

some potatos (as many as you think you'd eat for the meal- i used 3 medium sized russet potatoes but i think new potatoes or red potatoes would work best)

1 medium sized tomato thickly diced(this is just enough for eric and me, maybe one other person)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
3-4 tbspn chopped cilantro
2 tbspn chopped chives
3 tbspn chopped basil
juice of one lemon
3 tbspn olive oil
salt and pepper for topping on salad
2 chicken breasts- grilled with salt and pepper (eric grilled them outside with a bit of olive oil on both sides too)

boil potatoes in lightly salted water until tender
put in salad bowl
add onion, cilantro, chives, basil and tomato
cut grilled chicken into strips, add to salad bowl
whisk together lemon juice and olive oil and pour over salad

enjoy! serve warm. it's simple, but oh sooo good!
