Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by preparing the roasted red peppers. If using jarred roasted peppers, drain and chop them into bite-sized pieces. If roasting your own, roast the peppers until charred, peel off the skin, and chop.

  2. 2

    Combine the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, roasted red peppers, capers, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, garbanzo beans, and pepperoncini. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add the Mozzarella

    Add the fresh mozzarella balls to the salad mixture. If they are large, you may want to cut them in half for easier eating.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the salad.

  5. 5

    Toss and Serve

    Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
