If you dig the flavors of a classic Caprese salad, you’re going to love this bowl! We added a few extras that transform these simple ingredients into a satisfying meal. You’ll start with a bowl of hearty grains like bulgur, rice, and barley, then add peppery arugula, juicy grape tomatoes, and tender fresh mozzarella. Dress it all in a creamy balsamic-Dijon vinaigrette and sprinkle with sliced almonds for a nutty crunch. Thanks to some clever time-savers, you’ll be enjoying this tasty, nourishing dish in just 10 minutes!
