Arugula, Tomato & Mozzarella Salad with Italian Vinaigrette Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 17 ounce package arugula
• 1 cup finely chopped heirloom tomatoes (a variety of colors looks great)
• 1 cup chopped fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup finely chopped cucumber
• 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and roughly chopped

1. To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the redwine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Slowly stream in the olive oil, whisking together until an emulsified dressing forms. Set aside until ready to use.
2. To make the salad, toss together the arugula, tomatoes, mozzarella, cucumber and apples. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss together well. Serve immediately. If you’re not serving the salad immediately, wait to toss the vegetables with the dressing until right before serving.
