California Caprese Salad

Submitted by: California Milk Advisory Board 
This light and flavorful Mediterranean-style salad is an ideal summer dish. It calls for ciligiene (small fresh mozzarella balls the size of cherry tomatoes), but if unavailable, you can substitute slices or cubes from a larger ball of fresh mozzarella. This salad is intended to be simple–just toss all ingredients together in one bowl and arrange on spinach leaves.

A great way to serve tomato mozzarella salad. Great presentation. Always a hit. You can find the bite-sized mozzarella at most supermarkets. If they are on the larger side, cut them in half.
