A Manhattan Salad: Mozzarella, Tomatoes, and Rice

In New York City in the 80s, salads of sliced tomatoes and fresh mozzarella were as ubiquitous as Big Macs. But in spite of how familiar this combination is, I continue to love it. By adding rice to this well-loved mix, I turned a favorite salad into a favorite summer meal.

To complete the meal and perk up the look, you can add chopped arugula or watercress.
