Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the crushed garlic, dried rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the diced zucchini, salami, mozzarella cheese balls, and chopped almonds to the bowl. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Gently mix all the ingredients together, ensuring everything is well combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. (1 minute)

05

Step

Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Let the salad stand for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Serve chilled or at room temperature.

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the almonds lightly before chopping.
Feel free to add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or red onion for added color and taste.
If you don't have mini mozzarella balls, you can use regular mozzarella, diced into small cubes.
Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your liking. A little goes a long way!
This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be aware that the zucchini may release some moisture over time.
