Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

- In a small jar, combine 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Shake well to emulsify the dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- Divide the salad onto plates and top each with sliced grilled chicken.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
