5 minutes

Salad leaves with mozzarella embody the freshness and lightness characteristic of European cuisine. This salad is easy to prepare, yet its taste is a refined combination of delicate milky mozzarella, crunchy greens, and the rich aroma of parmesan. Rice vinegar adds a subtle tang, while olive oil completes the composition with a velvety texture. Pumpkin seeds provide a light nutty note and extra crunch. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish for a light dinner or an elegant appetizer before the main course. It is often served in Mediterranean restaurants and used as a base for more complex variations with fruits or nuts added. Simplicity and sophistication are the main distinguishing features of this dish.
