I had a similar salad at a quaint little spot in Brooklyn Heights and was inspired to copy/create my own at-home version of this delicious salad. While it isn't exactly the same, it's close! This is a perfect light yet filling meal for a hot summer day (and is great for cutting calories). I used a mix of baby lettuces, cut up some fresh watermelon and organic peaches, fresh mozzarella, sprinkled with a handful of almonds. I topped it off with a light balsamic and enjoyed. The whole thing runs between 350-450 calories (depending on the dressing). I am a huge fan of mixing fruits into salads, and by throwing in the mozzarella for protein, I was surprisingly full for hours without feeling that awful heavy stomach feeling. New obsession - check.
