A simple salad to serve with your chicken milanese. It is designed to be quick and easy. Use whatever ingredients you have available.
You can really use any lettuce you like. If you do not have fresh basil, then simply leave it off. Buf makes amazing buffalo mozzarella balls, available at Whole Foods. This is all meant to be simple and easy. So use what you have on hand.
Place the arugula in a medium bowl.
I have discovered that cutting the arugula brings out the flavor. I recommend keeping scissors in your kitchen drawer, so use them to roughly cut the arugula.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add to the salad.
Tear up the mozzarella balls with your hands and place in the salad.
Tear off basil leaves, stack on top of each other and use scissors to cut into slivers. Add to the salad.
Squeeze a half of a lemon into the salad, sprinkle on a splash of olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
