Warm Mozzarella Salad image

The fresh mozzarella for this salad is warmed in a hot oven for a short time, giving it this soft, luscious heavenly texture. The vinegarette and kalamata olives are a nice foil for the richness of the cheese. Buon Appetit! Oh the credit for this goes to a recipe card from Safeway... the fine print says "try-foods, int'l".. I've made a few adjustments

This salad was a bit too rich for my taste. The mozzarella was very heavy and the pesto was overpowering. I think I would have preferred a lighter dressing, such as a vinaigrette. Overall, I thought the salad was just okay.

I found this salad to be very bland. The mozzarella was not very flavorful and the tomatoes were tasteless. The pesto was also very bland and did not add much flavor to the salad. I would not recommend this salad.
