Fancying a salad for lunch I found this Mozzarella, Tomato & Pesto Salad with Rocket & Pine Nuts in Sainsbury’s.
It was quite nice. The pesto wasn’t overpowering, there was enough to cover the pasta and there were ample pine nuts too. The pasta was the right texture, the sunblush tomatoes were nice and the mozzarella was fine.
Overall it was a nice packaged salad and certainly much nicer than a sandwich.
Sometimes simple food can be delicious and tasty.
This Italian salad I made for lunch comprises some slices of salami and cold roasted pork loin. I served it with some mixed lettuce leaves and tomato, with ripped mozzarella dressed with basil leaves, olive oil and vinegar.
This is a quick and easy salad or starter.
Take a mozzarella ball and cut into thin slices, arrange on a plate.
Add some sliced tomatoes, I actually used halved cherry tomatoes. You can either interleave the tomato with the mozzarella or place the tomato halves in the middle of the plate.
Scatter some small basil leaves across the cheese and tomato.
Dress with some white wine vinegar, some fine olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve.
