    Wash and chop the romaine lettuce. Dice the tomatoes and set aside. Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil leaves. Slice the grilled chicken and add it to the salad.

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
