Bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella, known as bocconcini, make up this great salad. If possible, seek out mozzarella di bufala, made from water buffalo's milk; a specialty of central and southern Italy, it is a softer, creamier mozzarella than that made from cow's milk.

- 1 pound bocconcini , bite-size mozzarella balls
- 8 cherrys tomatoes , halved
- 0.5 cups chopped green bell pepper
- 0.5 cups chopped celery
- 0.5 cups Belgian endive leaves
- 0.5 cups coarsely chopped arugula , stems included
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions

Whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil; pour over the salad. Toss until all the ingredients are thoroughly coated with the dressing. Transfer salad to individual serving plates, if desired. Sprinkle the basil over the salad, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Tajin® Michelada
I'm lucky enough to live in an area with a large Hispanic population and what seems like a Mexican restaurant or taqueria on every corner. They each have their own michelada recipe, and this is my version of my favorite. Maggi®Jugo seasoning can be found in the international aisle of your grocery store or Hispanic markets and provides an umami flavor. You may substitute soy sauce if necessary. Add more hot sauce if you prefer!
