This Greek mozzarella salad is one of my favorite go to dishes when I want something fresh and satisfying without spending time in the kitchen. It comes together in just twenty minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or last minute entertaining. The beauty of this salad lies in its simplicity and how the creamy mozzarella plays against the bright acidity of the vinegar and lemon. Kalamata olives are packed with antioxidants and heart healthy fats, so you can feel good about every bite. Best of all, the ingredients are budget friendly and easy to find at any grocery store.
