  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, the juice from one lemon, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard until well combined.
  3. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of dried basil, oregano, and thyme, along with ¾ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
  4. Just before serving, drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing over each salad bowl and gently toss.
  5. If desired, sprinkle ¼ cup of toasted pine nuts over each salad for a nutty crunch.
  6. Serve your beautifully arranged Mediterranean Chicken Salads immediately.
