Potato and mozzarella salad
A hearty and flavorful dish, potato and mozzarella salad combines creamy mozzarella cheese with potatoes that are both tender and slightly crisp. Red potatoes are cut into slices and boiled until they are fork-tender before being combined with cherry tomatoes cut in half, red onion slices, and fresh basil to make the salad. When the cheese is added to the mixture, it is chopped into small cubes, lending the salad a creamy and delicious flavor. The salad is then tossed with a straightforward vinaigrette that unites the flavors of the salad by combining extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. This dish is ideal for a family dinner, potluck, or summertime barbecue. For hectic weeknights or leisurely weekends, it's a great option because it's filling, flavorful, and simple to make. This salad is a real crowd-pleaser thanks to the blend of creamy cheese, tender potatoes, and tangy vinaigrette!
