A few weeks ago, for Easter, my brother and his family, and my hubby and our family all headed over to my parents house for Easter dinner. My mom made her most amazing marinated chicken, I made my potato salad and deviled eggs, and my sister in law brought this chopped caprese salad. One look at it and I knew, I had to have the recipe. It was incredibly flavorful and light tasting. The fresh, juicy tomatoes, cheese, and asparagus coated in balsamic vinegar was mouth watering! Even my oldest kiddo enjoyed it!!
This would be the perfect salad to bring to picnics, BBQ’s, potlucks, or to make when having company over. Not only is it simple to make, but it is a healthy dish that won’t leave you feeling “stuffed”.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 bundle asparagus, chopped
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, chopped
- 2-3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (more if desired)
- Salt/Pepper to taste
Directions:
- Toss all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve! Enjoy!

Looks delicious! Was there any seasoning on it?

Is the asparagus raw or cooked and just vinegar, salt and pepper? Sounds good and want to make this weekend. Thank you
Kristin
I forgot to include that I used Italian Seasoning, sorry about that! I have corrected the recipe now!! Enjoy!
Kristin
Also Italian seasoning added in there 🙂
As for cooked or raw, we have had it both ways, raw is much more crunchy of course, but if you are okay with that, its quite yummy. If you prefer a more tender veggie, cook it and allow to cool before putting into the salad!! Enjoy!!

What about a little fresh basil?
Kristin
That’s a great addition, I just didn’t have any on hand, otherwise I would’ve added some!
