Replace tomatoes with strawberries in this variation on the classic caprese salad of tomato and mozzarella. Sweet strawberries pair well with the fresh basil and balsamic vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 ounces Driscoll's Strawberries (about 1 2/3 cups)
- 8 ounces shell pasta, cooked, rinsed and cooled
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls, drained
- 1/4 cups slivered fresh basil
- 1/4 cups slivered red onion
- 1/4 cups prepared balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Hull and quarter strawberries.
- Combine strawberries, pasta, mozzarella, basil and onion in a large bowl (salad can be prepared to this point and refrigerated until ready to serve).
- Drizzle with vinaigrette and mix gently until ingredients are well coated.
Lighten Up Tip
- Use reduced fat or reduced calorie balsamic vinaigrette.
