High-Protein Mozzarella & Arugula Salad
Method
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and arugula thoroughly, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and tear or slice the light mozzarella into bite-sized pieces.
Place the arugula in a large serving bowl or on a serving platter.
Arrange the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes evenly over the arugula.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil over the salad.
Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately while the vegetables are crisp and the mozzarella is fresh. For an elegant presentation, finish with a few extra arugula leaves and a light drizzle of balsamic glaze.
For the best flavor, bring the mozzarella to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. This enhances its creamy texture and delicate taste. Add a few fresh basil leaves if desired for a classic Caprese-inspired variation that pairs beautifully with the peppery arugula.
