Mushroom and mozzarella salad

I love mozzarella and think it’s the perfect lunch food. For a while I think I made Caprese salad for lunch at least 3 times a week. Which led to a slight overdose of mozzarella, but yesterday I got feeling again and made this mushroom mozzarella salad. Mushrooms and cheese is a great combo and this dish works great as a lunch or a nice little starter.

3. Arrange the mushrooms and onions, mozzarella, rocket and the green finely sliced onion on a serving plate or a bowl.Top with basil, drizzle over some olive oil and season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. (Don’t tell me you use fine salt and ready ground pepper)
