    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:

    Crispy Fried Green Tomatoes 

    Bacon Cream Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes 

    Italian Tomato Ricotta Pie 

    Homemade Tomato Basil Sauce 

    This recipe is featured in Darn Good Eats, The Cookbook for Creative Chefs and Reluctant Cooks by the lovely Jodi Ambrose of Jodi Ambrose Blog.

      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!

      Artichoke extract can help the body metabolism to become faster and also helps in toning down fats. .

        It's awesome! I like canned artichokes I want to try fresh, but they scare me a bit!
