Colorful Tomato Mozzarella Salad

Teresa Ambra
Colorful Tomato Mozzarella Salad is a light & refreshing Caprese-style salad. It's elegant & beautiful enough for company dinners, but so easy you can whip it up for family meals. Every bite is so palate pleasing. We like to serve it at potlucks and Backyard Barbecues because it's always a crowd-pleaser. GlutenFree.
