Trattoria Salad
This is another one of my sister's recipes. After I had tasted it, I knew that I had to have the recipe. I was surprised at the simplicity of it. This has such a wonderful flavor, my mom thinks it could be served in a fancy Italian restaurant. I agree. This is one of my all-time favorite salads. It is nearly impossible to stop eating it.
List of Ingredients
- 1 can marinated artichoke hearts, diced
- 1/2 box bowtie pasta, cooked & cooled
- olive oil as needed (approximately 3-5 tablespoons)
- balsamic vinegar as needed (approximately 1-2 tablespoons)
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 block mozzarella cheese, cubed
- 1 sm. head of Romaine, cut into ribbons
- 1/2 pint grape tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Add all ingredients together, including marinade from the artichokes, &
toss with olive oil & vinegar. Add black pepper to taste. Serve.
YIELD: 6 servings
Final Comments
If you make
ahead of time, add all except the lettuce & let marinade in the fridge. Toss
in lettuce right before serving. This salad is even better when served with some hot french bread. So yummy!
