Step by Step Method

Step 1

Prepare the croutons:Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F

Step 4

Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients except olive oil in a small bowl until combined. Add olive oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

Step 5

Toss chicken and bocconcini mozzarella together with 1/4 cup vinaigrette in a bowl and let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

Step 6

Prepare the salad:Toss together romaine lettuce, red peppers, olives, chicken and bocconcini mixture, croutons, and remaining vinaigrette in a large bowl until combined. Makes 4 main-course servings.

Oh my...this has everything you want in a salad, crunchy, salty, creamy and tangy. Used an artisan garlic loaf for the croutons, grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts and did not use the salt as the olives and Dijon were sufficient for us. DH said this is definitely another of your keepers, and I agree! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
