I have been making this cherry tomato mozzarella salad for years! I was inspired by a salad like it that Walmart used to carry. It’s incredibly easy to make, it takes less than 5 minutes to put together and then it sits in the fridge for four hours to let the flavors come together.

How to make Mozzarella Tomato Artichoke Salad

This tomato artichoke salad has just two packages of grape tomatoes (or an equal amount of garden fresh grape tomatoes), two cans or jars of marinated artichoke hearts (drained), and 16 ounces of mozzarella cheese pearls topped with Greek dressing, then seasoning with salt, pepper, and dried basil. Mix it up, cover, and refrigerate for four hours or up to overnight.

I serve this Mozzarella Tomato Artichoke Salad every summer at cookouts and parties and everyone loves it! Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Since summer is coming, though not fast enough for me, here are more of my favorite tomato recipes:

    I know it’s weird to say this, but I’ve never had artichokes in anything except for a hot dip. I get a little gaggy when I see them jarred, but they must be good, because SO many people use them! I’m curious to try them now 🙂

      They are good. I’ve heard the fresh one’s are really hard to work with, so I haven’t attempted that yet, but that’s part of the reason I love this recipe. Basically just pour everything into a bowl and stir, simple!
