This salad should be made with the freshest ingredients possible, and is a delight as a side to most any meal! If you can’t find, or don’t have bocconcini, you could use another size of fresh mozzarella instead.
Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups baby spinach, rinsed and dried
- 2 cups arugula, rinsed and dried
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh bocconcini cheese, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup minced red onion
Directions
Step 1
Combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a jar with a lid; set aside. Gently combine the spinach, arugula, tomatoes, bocconcini cheese, and onion in a pretty serving bowl. Shake the salad dressing vigorously to combine, and drizzle over the salad to serve.
Editor’s Note
The term "bocconcini" refers to a ball of fresh mozzarella about 1-inch in diameter. Since this recipe calls for the cheese to be cubed anyway, feel free to buy any size ball of fresh mozzarella.
