About this recipe
This mozzarella and tomato breakfast salad is a quick, fresh, no-cook meal inspired by the simple pairing of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Mild, milky mozzarella pairs with juicy tomatoes, peppery arugula, and the fresh aroma of basil. It is a good choice when you want a light but nourishing breakfast. Season only just before serving so the arugula stays crisp and the tomatoes do not release too much juice. If using olive oil, add it at the end immediately before tossing.
Ingredients
Servings: 2
1 ball mozzarella
2 tomatoes
a few basil leaves
a handful of arugula
1 teaspoon olive oil, optional
1/4 teaspoon salt
a pinch of black pepper
Steps
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or slices, tear or cut the mozzarella, and leave the basil leaves in larger pieces.
Gently combine the tomatoes, mozzarella, arugula, and basil so the mozzarella does not break apart in the bowl.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper only just before serving. If using the olive oil, drizzle it over the ingredients immediately before tossing.
Serve right away, while the tomatoes are juicy, the arugula is crisp, and the mozzarella retains its delicate texture.
