It's a light, healthy salad perfect for a simple lunch or picnic in the park, combining sweet strawberries with classic flavors like balsamic vinegar and fresh mozzarella. You'll love this refreshing take on the classic Caprese salad!

All you need are mixed greens, strawberries, cucumber, mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Just slice the strawberries and cucumber, then arrange them with mixed greens and mozzarella on a plate. Make the dressing by whisking the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, and garlic, then season to taste. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and it's ready to eat. Trust me, this salad is a real crowd-pleaser and will leave your taste buds dancing!

Ingredients You'll Need

Strawberry Caprese Salad Ingredients
  • Mixed greens - Use your favorite salad mixed greens.
  • Cucumber - Very low in carbs and adds a refreshing crunch to the salad.
  • Strawberries - Add the perfect amount of sweetness to the salad, and are rich in vitamin C.
  • Mozzarella - Freshly diced mozzarella cheese or mozzarella cheese balls add a creamy texture and are high in protein and calcium.
  • Mint - A few fresh mint leaves to garnish and add a cool and refreshing taste to the salad.
  • Olive oil - Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the base of the dressing. Adds lots of healthy fats to the salad.

How To Make Strawberry Caprese Salad

  • Prep the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk well to create a smooth and creamy dressing.
  • Prep the salad. Place the mixed greens in a salad bowl and arrange the sliced strawberries and cucumber on top. Add the mozzarella balls and drizzle over the salad dressing. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Storage Instructions

The best way to store strawberry Caprese salad is to separate the salad and the dressing. Place the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, cucumber, mozzarella balls, and mint in an airtight container or sealable bag and store them in the refrigerator. Do not mix in the dressing until ready to serve, as this can make the greens wilt and the cheese soggy. The dressing can be stored in a separate container in the refrigerator. The salad and dressing will keep for up to 3 days.

When you are ready to serve, take the salad and dressing from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for a few minutes. Then, drizzle the desired amount of dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Enjoy!
