This simple Italian salad blends green leafy rocket lettuce with egg white and grilled chicken. A hint of balsamic reduction uplifts this low calorie salad.

A vegetarian can take out the egg white and grilled chicken and replace them with feta cheese. Made with a handful of ingredients, the rocket lettuce salad can be a perfect beginning to a meal.
