Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad: Inspired by Sammy's Pizza.


...Do you LOVE the Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad from Sammy's Woodfired Pizza but dread paying $12 for such a simple creation? ....Well, today is your lucky day because here is the secret! :)

The secret lies within the dressing!

Balsamic Basil Dressing: 
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped Basil 
Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender and this recipe will make 3 cups of the famous dressing!

The Salad
  • 10 ounces mixed field lettuce (or any other type of lettuce...)
  • 3/4 cup gorgonzola (I always substitute Feta because I am not a huge gorgonzola fan!)
  • 3/4 cup walnuts (...toasted if you have time!)
  • 1/4 cup basil, chopped
  • 1 full chicken breast, grilled (Or if you're a college student and do not have access to a grill: Combine a cubed  chicken breast, sprinkle of garlic salt and a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on the stove and cook thoroughly! ...It will still taste delish!) 
Enjoy!! <3
