This tomato and bocconcini 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.

  • 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

Directions

  1. Combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a jar with a lid; set aside.

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.
