Cucumber, Tomato, Mozzarella Salad with Balsamic

Cucumber, Tomato, Mozzarella Salad with Balsamic

I love recipes that have few ingredients but turn out so amazingly delicious. This cucumber, tomato, mozzarella salad with balsamic was on the table within five minutes and we all loved it. I loved the combination of flavors and textures – the crisp cucumbers with the juicy tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella with the tart and sweet balsamic vinegar. I served this salad with the Lemon Chicken Thighs and Roasted Cauliflower with Fresh Herbs, Parmesan, and Lemon. This salad will be a regular on our table because it’s healthy, easy, and we all loved it.

  1. I love simple recipes too! Sometimes they just taste the best and I love how fast they are! This salad looks so refreshing and reminds me of summer, I’ll need to eat it soon as it is getting pretty how where I live 🙂

  2. this is pretty much what I eat during july and august with a few helpings of sushi.
    one of my favs and I never ever tire of it.
    not sure why I crave this during july & august though…some say that cukes are a sign of dehydration?

  3. This looks so good and so simple, too! I have been looking for a few new salads to try for lighter lunches now that spring is here. I can’t wait to make this one. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi Pam,

    Thanks for your salad recipe. I love that it is healthy and simple at the same time. I have all these ingredients ready in my fridge; definitely making this today.

    1. Jane,

      I usually just add it before serving but I’m sure it would be tasty if you add it a little earlier to allow flavors time to mingle. Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try.
