Regan’s Artichoke/Mozzarella Salad

My family loves artichokes! This salad can’t be any easier to make.

I buy artichokes that are in a jar...I found a jar that has artichokes, red peppers and green olives in an olive oil dressing. It’s delicious. If you can’t find this particular jar of artichokes, then just buy the ingredients separately.

Ingredients:

Artichokes in a jar...2 of them!

Can of green olives

Can of black olives

Sweet red peppers in a jar

Mozzarella Cheese...fresh (to be sliced) or buy the pre-cut mozzarella cubes.

Directions:

1. We like to slice the green and black olives in half, as well as the artichokes. (Note: Save any juice from the jar of artichokes...don’t drain!)
2. We usually buy a fresh piece of mozzarella cheese and slice it ourselves.
3. Add everything to a bowl, including the juice from the jar of artichokes.
4. Taste test it! Does it need a little more olive oil? Salt? Pepper?
5. Mix everything together until the dressing is throughout.

*This is a simple salad that can certainly be changed by adding your favorites to the salad. I’ve made a bigger batch of this salad and added it to small pasta shells or rotini pasta. Some people may like diced onions, green peppers, or carrots. It’s completely up to you! Enjoy!
