Cucumber, Tomato, Mozzarella Salad with Balsamic
I love recipes that have few ingredients but turn out so amazingly delicious. This cucumber, tomato, mozzarella salad with balsamic was on the table within five minutes and we all loved it. I loved the combination of flavors and textures – the crisp cucumbers with the juicy tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella with the tart and sweet balsamic vinegar. I served this salad with the Lemon Chicken Thighs and Roasted Cauliflower with Fresh Herbs, Parmesan, and Lemon.

Love this Pam!

Love the simplicty of this and I bet it goes perfectly with that chicken! This salad would be lovely with feta cheese, too. An almost-Greek salad!
I make a similar salad quite frequently during the summer… it’s so simple and so very delicious!!!
This is like summer in a bowl! I make something kind of similar, but stir in cooked quinoa and stuff it in pita bread. Thanks for reminding me!
I love simple recipes too! Sometimes they just taste the best and I love how fast they are! This salad looks so refreshing and reminds me of summer, I’ll need to eat it soon as it is getting pretty how where I live 🙂
Bev would love this.
I enjoy salads which are just chunks of veggies without any leafy greens. They are a nice change of pace.
this is pretty much what I eat during july and august with a few helpings of sushi.
one of my favs and I never ever tire of it.
not sure why I crave this during july & august though…some say that cukes are a sign of dehydration?
Perfect summer salad! Everything I love 🙂
One of my staple dished. Love this!!!
A very refreshing salad.
I love this updated version of caprese salad! The cukes are so refreshing!
we tend to make this salad a lot! love it!
i’m always surprised by how much flavor and complexity some balsamic vinegar can add to a dish. this sounds great!
Simple, delicious, colorful and healthy- perfection on a plate!

Hi Pam,
Thanks for your salad recipe. I love that it is healthy and simple at the same time. I have all these ingredients ready in my fridge; definitely making this today.
Can you put the vinaigrette on and store it, or just before serving?
Jane,
I usually just add it before serving but I’m sure it would be tasty if you add it a little earlier to allow flavors time to mingle. Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try.
