Another RR fave that I altered a bit to suit my tastes (I ommitted weird things like peas, mushrooms and prosciutto). This one is a little expensive to make but is well worth it for a change from the everyday salad.

Salad Capricciosa (serves at least 4)

Salad ingredients:
2 Romaine hearts, chopped
1-14 oz. can of artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1 tub of boccocini (bite size fresh mozzarella, drained and cut in half. Or, use larger balls and cut them into bite size pieces)
1 pint of grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half

Dressing ingredients:
zest and juice of 1 lemon
3T prepared pesto sauce
3T olive oil

Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add pesto, lemon juice and zest to a bowl and combine. Whisk in the olive oil and add to salad. Toss and serve.
