Step 1:

Salad ingredients.
Step 2:

First, make the dressing: whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined. If you like, add a little prepared mustard and a touch of honey (or sugar) — go by your own taste.
Step 3:

Dress the (washed and dried) lettuce leaves with half the dressing, toss, and arrange them on a serving plate.
Step 4:

Scatter the sliced cherry tomatoes over the lettuce.
Step 5:

And add the sliced mozzarella.
Step 6:

For the poached egg, bring 1 liter of water to a boil, add a little salt and 1 tbsp of vinegar. Crack the egg into a small dish and slide it into the water. The water should be at a gentle simmer (no vigorous bubbling :)).
Step 7:

Cook for 2–3 minutes and lift the egg out with a slotted spoon.
Step 8:

Set the egg on the salad, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and drizzle the rest of the dressing on top.
Step 9:

Serve right away. Enjoy!
