Questions

What is Tricolore Arugula Salad?

A bright Italian three-color salad of peppery arugula, creamy fresh mozzarella, and ripe tomatoes dressed in a simple lemon and extra-virgin olive oil vinaigrette. This reference files it under Italian salad: made without cooking, rated easy and about 10 minutes start to finish.

Is there a substitute for Dijon mustard in Tricolore Arugula Salad?

The entry for Tricolore Arugula Salad calls for 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard. In its place: Whole-grain or yellow mustard with a few drops of white wine vinegar. Yellow is milder, so use a little more.

Can I make Tricolore Arugula Salad dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (4 oz fresh mozzarella (ciliegine or torn), torn, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free salad collection instead.

Is Tricolore Arugula Salad gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Tricolore Arugula Salad is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the mustard.

How long does Tricolore Arugula Salad keep?

Once dressed, the arugula will wilt within hours, so keep the dressing apart and toss Tricolore Arugula Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.
