Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Arugula (rocket leaves)
- 1 cup Fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the arugula leaves. Place them in a large mixing bowl or on a serving platter as the base of the salad.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Scatter them evenly over the arugula.
Drain the fresh mozzarella balls and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add them to the salad by evenly distributing them over the tomatoes and arugula.
Chop or tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the salad for added fragrance and flavor.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad, ensuring all components are lightly coated.
Finish the salad by drizzling balsamic glaze over the top in a zig-zag pattern for a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
