For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Ensure the spinach and arugula are completely dry to prevent a soggy salad. If you can't find bocconcini, fresh mozzarella pearls or small cubes of fresh mozzarella are excellent substitutes. Feel free to add other fresh herbs like basil or oregano for an extra layer of flavor. This salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the greens from wilting.
