Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 large English cucumber provides a refreshing crunch and hydration; choose English for their thin skin.
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella pearls 150g; ensures they are drained well to avoid excess moisture.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes 150g; any small tomato works, and halving them enhances their juiciness.
For the Vinaigrette
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45ml; use high-quality oil for maximum flavor.
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar 15ml; apple cider vinegar can be a good substitute.
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt 3g; feel free to adjust to taste, or use sea salt.
  • 0.5 tsp coarse black pepper 1g; freshly cracked pepper is recommended for the best taste.
For Garnish
  • 2 tbsp fresh green herbs 10g; a mix of parsley and basil is delightful.
