Craving a simple salad and this hit. the. spot 🙌🏼 Wanted to add salami so bad but I was still on the mend from a stomach bug so I kept it simple lol. I am truly obsessed with the marinated mozzarella balls from Trader Joe’s. I could seriously eat the whole container in one sitting. If you haven’t had them yet, you MUST pick them up the next time you go.
