Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 Cups baby arugula
  • 1 medium tomato slices
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella slices
  • 10 fresh basil leaves
  • 4 Tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 4 Tbs olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

  1. Arrange Arugula in a bed on the plate
  2. Arrange the tomato to alternate with the mozzarella on the plate
  3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
  4. sprinkle the basil chifonade onto the tomato/mozzarella
  5. Add other basil leaves
  6. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Notes

  • Choose Arugula leaves that are smaller and brightly colored. Avoid wilted or brown leaves.
  • Whisk the olive oil and balsamic together like crazy to make an emulsion. You'll see the two ingredients come together and make a thicker, opaque dressing. Use immediately.
  • Try some various herbs and spices to find the flavor profile you enjoy best! Kosher salt and black cracked pepper are always nice!
