Description

A fresh and delicious salad that has never failed to impress. The arugula adds a lovely bite and the mozzarella and tomatoes are just wonderful together.

Ingredients

  • 1 box Barrilla Pasta (I Use Farfalline Or Farfalle, 12-16 Ounce Box)
  • 1 container Grape Tomatoes, Sliced In Half
  • 1 tub Fresh Mozzarella Balls (or 1 Big Chunk Cut Into Bitesize Pieces)
  • 1 bottle Newman's Own Balsamic Salad Dressing (16 Ounce Bottle)
  • 2 cups Baby Arugula (i Usually Just Throw In A Couple Of Handfuls)
  • Shrimp, Steak Bits Or Salami Are Great To Throw In If You Want

Preparation

Cook (al dente) and cool the pasta. Then mix everything together but the arugula and pour about half the bottle of dressing on it. I usually add the arugula last so it doesn’t get too wilted. You can add more or less dressing to taste.

This salad is great for a few days but you may want to add the arugula as you eat it – because it will wilt.

This is a very “to taste” recipe. I struggled writing it down. Just do what tastes good. You can add some cooked shrimp, steak bites, salami, or other meat of choice if you want some protein.

It’s also a very pretty salad.

I made this for a neighborhood cookout and everyone loved it! The only changes I made, was to add a finely minced clove of garlic (b/c I love it) and some salt & pepper to taste. Thanks for a great recipe!
