Lightly toast the pine nuts in a non-stick pan without fat and set aside. Cook the broccoli florets in salted water until al dente, drain, and let cool. Whisk the vinegar and salt in a small bowl until the salt has dissolved. Add the oil, pepper, and chives, mix well again, and set aside. Line a plate with three lettuce leaves, arrange mozzarella slices on the lettuce leaves, arrange the broccoli florets on the mozzarella, mix the sauce again, and drizzle the salad with it.
