ADVICE

The rich salad can be customized in many ways according to tastes and the availability of ingredients. You can replace the mozzarella with feta or hard gorgonzola, for an extra touch of flavor, add mixed seeds, olives, capers or other dried fruit such as pine nuts or flaked almonds; if you prefer a more intense flavored dressing, you can try an emulsion of extra virgin olive oil, salt and mustard, or one of oil, salt and apple cider vinegar.

You can prepare the ingredients in advance but we suggest you dress the salad just before serving it : in this way all the various elements will remain crunchy.
