From Ellie Krieger's So Easy
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 hearts of romaine lettuce, torn or cut into bite-size pieces (5 lightly packed cups)
1 16oz container fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
6 oz. part-skim mozzarella cheese, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, cut into ribbons
8 slices whole-grain Italian bread
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Place the lettuce in a large bowl and toss with half of the dressing.
Place the lettuce on 4 salad plates.  Toss the strawberries with the remaining dressing and place 1/4 of the berries on top of each mound of lettuce. 
Top each with cheese, then sprinkle with the basil.  Serve the bread alongside.  YIELD:  4 servings
