Apricot and mozzarella salad
Description
A salad with juicy apricots and cheese can be served as a snack or a light dinner. The dish is perfectly balanced in flavor, but you can marinate the sliced red onion beforehand to make the salad even more delicious! If desired, arugula can be substituted with leafy lettuce or spinach.
