Arugula & Fresh Mozzarella Salad


arugula mozarrella salad

Please don't kill me - This is yet again an Arugula based salad -  (A blogger friend just informed me that these are called rockets in England so I was tempted to change the title to Rocket & Mozzarella Salad - what can I say except I love these greens and they have made my salad experience incredibly enriched... Take a look at this fresh green leaf below and tell me you are not tempted :)

arugula salad
This time I paired it with Oh-So Fresh Mozzarella cheese and juicy beef tomatoes (not particularly fond of that name but...)
The dressing a simple store bought, fat-free Annie's Raspberry Vinaigrette - start with smaller drizzles and add more if necessary - the trouble with store-bought being they can get taste acidic.

Pictures are self-explanatory, but the single serving remains the same
Arugula & Mozzarella Salad

For 1 Serving
2 cups of fresh, washed arugula
3 - 1" thick slices - These come pre cut and can be sliced thinner if desired)
Note This can be substituted with Tofu or Paneer if desired
3 fairly thick slices of tomatoes

Place the bed of Arugula and arrange tomatoes over it
Add the Mozzarella pieces over the tomatoes and there you have it
Drizzle dressing over it and enjoy

  10. Looks yummy.As I cannot get arugula here I will argue with myself that it is not as good as lettuce and make this salad. sorry delicious salad. With ordinary tomatoes I must add. :)

  13. Happy Diwali! :) I love your rocket/ arugula recipes! We grow it in our polytunnel- it's really easy to grow and you can get a supply for much of the year. There is a purple variety too with an even more peppery taste that's perfect with cheese...

  22. You can never have too much arugula! By the way, can you get balsamic vinegar where you are? It goes perfectly with mozzarella and arugula like this!
