Field Green Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
This is one of the prettiest salads that I've ever 'tossed' together. A store bought mix of field greens becomes much more sophisticated once deep plum colored heirloom tomato wedges are added. This field green salad mix included herbs like mint, which really added a freshness to the overall salad and an unexpected ingredient too.Not to mention, the colors compliment each other.
One package mixed field greens (or mixed herbs)
1 deep plum colored heirloom tomato (the color is important for presentation), wedged
1/2 half red onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
light creamy Caesar dressing on the side
Place field greens in a bowl and sprinkle chopped green bell pepper over on top. Arrange tomato wedges and onion slices on top. Sprinkle with shaved mozzarella. Only dress on individual plates, not the entire bowl. This will preserve presentation and allow guests to use an amount to their choosing.
