Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

- 15 fresh basil leaves, sliced
Instructions
- For the dressing: In a jar with a lid, combine the oil, Champagne vinegar, shallots, mustard, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Tightly close the lid and shake so the dressing is well combined.
- For the salad: Put the mixed greens and romaine in a large bowl. Add enough dressing so that each leaf is lightly coated when tossed. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Transfer the lettuce to a serving platter or bowl.
- Scatter the tomatoes and mozzarella balls over the salad along with the pine nuts and finally the basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Reviews
This is delicious and easy, I make this frequently, everyone loves it.
This quickly became a family favorite. We have three teenagers, with very different taste, but all of them like this salad. If you don’t anticipate consuming the entire salad in one meal, I recommend serving the dressing on the side. It lasts longer.
Very tasty. The dressing is superb. I combined butter lettuce with the spring mix. I didn’t have pine nuts so used walnuts but it was fine.
Will make it again often,
