Italian Salad With Seasoned Mozzarella Cheese
This Italian Salad with Seasoned Mozzarella Cheese is the perfect addition to any chicken, beef, or vegetarian meal. Because you use the tomatoes as a pretty garnish on the plate, this salad presents beautifully. You can use a large serving bowl, but this salad begs for a plated presentation. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 bag Italian Blend prewashed mixed salad greens (or lettuce blend of your choice)
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Zesty Italian salad dressing
Instructions
- Distribute the salad greens evenly into 4 salad plates or bowls.
- Slice the tomatoes into 6 slices each and then cut each slice in half. Arrange the half slices around the edges of the salad plates or bowls with the cut sides all going in the same direction and slipping the end of each slice slightly under the salad greens.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each plate of greens and drizzle the zesty Italian salad dressing over the salads. Be sure to drizzle a little of the dressing over the tomato slices, too.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
I prefer the Walden Farms Calorie Free Zesty Italian Dressing but you can feel free to the dressing of your choice.
