This is a super easy, super simple salad that will always deliver on flavor! All the elements just work beautifully together – and it requires virtually no cooking (aside from toasting the nuts which is essential for maximum flavor).

Chef Tips:

• Baby plum tomatoes are a good substitute for cherry tomatoes.
• Fresh mozzarella is great in a salad, but if you can, try it with burrata for an oozy salad.
• Don’t skip the toasted pine nuts or the basil garnish: the flavors they offer bring the whole salad together.
