Best Tomato Arugula Mozzarella Salad Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO, ARUGULA AND MOZZARELLA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the tomatoes to a shallow 2-quart casserole dish in a single layer.
• Toss the tomatoes with the oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Make sure the tomatoes are cut side up after tossing. Roast until the tomatoes are extremely tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove them from the oven and keep warm.
• In a large salad bowl, toss the arugula, mozzarella balls, basil and the warm tomatoes along with any juices from the dish. Drizzle with some good balsamic and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

GARGANELLI PASTA & TOMATO SAUCE WITH FRESH MOZZARELLA & ARUGULA-ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and small dice the onion. Place the tomatoes in a bowl; gently break apart with your hands. Pick the parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Tear the mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces. Cut off and discard the tops and bottoms of the oranges so they sit flat on the cutting board. Cut off and discard the orange rinds and piths; halve the oranges, then thinly slice.
• In a large, high-sided pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the garlic and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the tomatoes. Simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking the tomatoes apart with a spoon, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly reduced in volume; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• While the sauce simmers, in a bowl, combine the vinegar and a pinch of the Parmesan cheese; season with salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until well combined.
• While the sauce continues to simmer, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until just shy of al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, thoroughly drain the cooked pasta.
• Add the cooked pasta and half the pasta cooking water to the pan of sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pasta is thoroughly coated. (If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining pasta cooking water to achieve your desired consistency.) Turn off the heat. Add the butter, half the parsley and half the mozzarella cheese. Stir until thoroughly combined; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Just before serving, in a large bowl, combine the arugula and oranges; season with salt and pepper. Add enough of the vinaigrette to coat the salad (you may have extra vinaigrette). Toss to combine; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish the finished pasta with the remaining Parmesan cheese, parsley and mozzarella cheese.
• Enjoy!
