3 medium tomatoes, seeded, chopped, and drained
1 large cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, quartered
1/2 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup pitted black olives, halved (kalamata olives preferred)
1 cup cubed part-skim fresh mozzarella
1/2 cup Newman's Own® Lighten Up! Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onion. Toss with enough dressing to coat vegetables.
Cover and chill vegetables several hours before serving. Toss again with mozzarella cheese and olives just before serving.
Recipe Review:
Great salad! Just look at the photo! It was all the things I wanted in a 'light lunch' but wasn't light beacuse I was full 1/2 way through...or maybe sick of chewing?! I used plum tomatoes and added some raw sunflower seeds and lettuce that we needed to use up in the kitchen. Lovely salad! The Newmans' Own Balsamic Vinegarette is GF, but does contain sulfites, so I opted to use Litehouse BV (no MSG, preservatives & is GF). I made 3 great salads with this and after I ran out of lettuce and the bell peppers, I made due with what I had left - still great! This will be a staple for me going forward.
