2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 pound chicken breasts, grilled and sliced (if you don’t want to use grilled chicken you can use rotisserie chicken instead)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2-3 ears corn, husked (feel free to use canned corn if you like)

1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

1-2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

1/3 cup olive oil

4 tablespoons red wine vinegar

In a small mixing bowl add olive oil, vinegar, dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir dressing and set aside. Remove husks from corn and place in salted boiling water. Boil corn for about 5 minutes. Remove corn and place on grill for about 10 minutes. Once corn is done remove from grill and place on a large plate. Let corn cool for a few minutes before removing from cob. After corn is cooled, remove from cob and place in a large bowl.
