Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients to make the dressing then set aside.
Assemble the salad by placing the mixed greens in a large bowl following by the shredded chicken, sliced tomatoes then crumbled gorgonzola.
Drizzle the dressing on top of the salad and devour. Divide the salad into four servings and enjoy!

Notes

If you aren’t eating the whole salad in a single sitting, add the dressing to individual servings so you can store the leftover salad without it getting soggy.
Shave the gorgonzola instead of crumbling it. Freeze the cheese before shaving it so it doesn’t fall apart as you slice it.
Season the cherry tomatoes with a little salt and pepper before adding them to the salad.
