Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large salad bowl, gently combine the bocconcini, halved cherry tomatoes, diced green bell pepper, diced celery, chopped endive, and arugula. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil until emulsified. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Pour the lemon-olive oil dressing over the salad. Gently toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (3 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Transfer the salad to individual serving plates or a serving platter. Sprinkle generously with chopped fresh basil, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures at their peak. (0 minutes)

For the best flavor, use the highest quality extra virgin olive oil you can find. Its fruity notes will enhance the overall taste of the salad.
If you can't find mozzarella di bufala, regular fresh bocconcini will work just fine. Look for the freshest possible mozzarella.
Feel free to add other fresh herbs, such as oregano or parsley, to the salad for an extra layer of flavor.
This salad is best served immediately, as the arugula can wilt if left to sit for too long.
A light chiffonade of basil makes an elegant and flavorful garnish.
