Caprese Salad with Cherry Tomatoes Olives and Marinated Artichoke Hearts

Perfect for gatherings, this easy and attractive Caprese Salad  with Cherry Tomatoes Olives and Artichoke Hearts is great as a side, lunch, or even as a light meatless meal.

Caprese salad with cherry tomatoes, olives, and artichoke hearts garnished with basil in a white bowl with basil with parsley behind.

Heres a pretty Summer salad that’s great for a party, as a side, or as a light meal.

It comes together in minutes and keeps well in the fridge.

I saw a similar caprese salad with cherry tomatoes at the grocery store the other day and it looked so good that I thought I would make my own version. I loved the colors of the white mozzarella, black olives, and red grape tomatoes, but I wanted a little green for contrast. I added a few green olives and a small jar of marinated artichoke hearts.

It was so easy that I will be making this again and again throughout the Summer…

This is a make-the-day-before salad because it needs time to marinate in the salad dressing. It can be eaten as a lunch salad or as a side to a great grilled piece of meat. Alternately, throwing a little grilled chicken or cooked pasta into the bowl would turn this simple salad into a simple and refreshing Summer meal.

Variations:

  • Add grilled chicken
  • Add cooked pasta
  • Add chopped fresh basil
  • Add fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

 

Caprese Salad with Cherry Tomatoes Olives and Artichoke Hearts is 4.5 net carbs per serving.

    Seems sad to waste the flavor from the artichoke hearts by throwing it out. Why not suggest adding it to your dressing? Or use unmarinated hearts.

    DELICIOUS! I didn’t have green olives on hand so I just used black olives. It was WONDERFUL! I will absolutely make this many more times.

      Hi Summer. I’m sorry I sat on this comment for a while. I meant to make the salad to measure for you, but didn’t get to it. I just divide as best as I can visually. That’s the best I can do at the moment. The recipe serves five at 4.5 net carbs each. -Kim

    Hi, thanks for this great recipe. In the instructions however it calls for Dijon mustard but it isn’t listed in the ingredients. Wondering if it should or should not be included? Thanks!

      Hi Julie, great question and catch! No, you don’t need the mustard. I have updated the recipe. I removed that section from the recipe (I had actually cut and pasted it from the original vinaigrette recipe) because it’s only needed if one doesn’t have a blender and wants to do it by hand. I think most people have blenders now-a-days. Mustard is a cheat and helps the ingredients emulsify. Thanks again! -Kim
