FRESH MOZZARELLA PASTA SALAD
A take on a traditional Caprese, but modified into a light summer pasta salad that goes great with anything off the grill, or just on its own. When I eat it on its own, I sometimes add about a cup of any chunked, cold sausage (I suggest pepperoni or a lighter summer sausage). Any pasta is fine, but I like the orzo's size.

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

Tips:
- Choose Sweet Onions: Vidalia or Walla Walla onions are ideal for this salad as they have a milder, sweeter flavor compared to yellow or red onions.
- Caramelize Onions Properly: Cook the onions over medium-low heat and stir frequently to prevent burning. The goal is to achieve a deep golden brown color and a slightly sweet flavor.
- Use Quality Mozzarella: Fresh, high-quality mozzarella cheese is essential for the best flavor and texture. Look for creamy, milky mozzarella that is soft and slightly springy.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the salad with salt and pepper. A good balance of seasonings will enhance the flavors of the onions and mozzarella.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme to add an extra layer of flavor and freshness to the salad.
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the salad while the onions are still slightly warm. This will allow the flavors to meld and create a harmonious dish.
Conclusion:
The Warm Onion and Mozzarella Salad is a delightful combination of sweet caramelized onions, creamy mozzarella cheese, and tangy dressing. With its simple ingredients and minimal preparation, this salad embodies the essence of rustic Italian cuisine. Whether served as an appetizer or a main course, this dish is sure to impress with its harmonious flavors and textures.
