Warm buffalo mozzerella salad

Indulge in the delicious mix of warm buffalo mozzarella, fresh greens, vibrant vegetables, and zesty dressing in this mouthwatering salad.

Ingredients:

  • 110g Fresh buffalo mozzarella ball
  • 60g Prosciutto ham, 1/4 inch dice
  • 2 Firm Heirloom tomatoes, different colors OR 1 golden tomato and 1 Roma tomato
  • 140g clean fresh baby spinach, stems removed
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted pine nuts
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Olive oil
  • 2 cups Fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons White Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Clove minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and fresh ground white pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Minced shallot
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salad: Cut the mozzarella ball into slices that are about one-quarter inch thick. Repeat the same process with the tomatoes. Tear or dice the prosciutto. Arrange the tomato, cheese, and prosciutto in layers in a flat pie dish. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used up.
  2. Velvety Basil Dressing: Combine the mustard, vinegar, shallots, and garlic in a blender. Slowly pour in the oil until the mixture thickens. Mix in the fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Blend until the dressing is smooth. If it's too thick, you can add a few drops of water or lemon juice to reach your desired thickness. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days in a sealed jar or container.
  3. Putting it Together: Bake the mozzarella layers in the pie dish at 350°F for 3-4 minutes. Toss the spinach in a large bowl with enough dressing to cover the leaves evenly. Transfer the salad to a plate.
  4. Using a spatula, carefully transfer the warm layered mozzarella to the center of the salad. Sprinkle with pine nuts and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Enjoy this dish with a side of fresh Ciabatta bread and a glass of your favorite wine. For extra flavor, consider adding quartered artichokes and sliced Kalamata olives.
