This said, my most requested summer recipe, is wonderful warm, cold or at room temperature. Because it's dressed with a vinaigrette, not mayonnaise, it's ideal for outdoor occasions. —Robin Jungers, Campbellsport, Wisconsin

Tip

Fresh Mozzarella Facts

Compared to the more firm texture of most commercially produced mozzarella, fresh mozzarella is soft and moist. The flavor is mild, delicate and somewhat milky. Fresh mozzarella is usually shaped into balls and stored in brine. After buying fresh mozzarella, it should be refrigerated in the brine and eaten within a few days.

I love this salad. I could eat it every week!

My sister made this for graduation. She added the potatoes when they were still warm and the cheese melted a little bit. It was the best potato salad I have ever had. It has become a family favorite

this is a delicious salad - I didn't use the cheese as I had two types of meat with the meal. Next time I will include the cheese.

Feta! Not mozzeralla as Ahalf suggests is what this recipe needs.

Reviewed on Jun. 17, 2009 by Ahalf

This salad cries for Feta cheese rather than the mozzarella.

Hello.  There are 2 grill baskets on the website at Lowe's Home Improvement Store, although one is called a "shaker basket."  Hope this helps.

Please, where do I find Greek vinaigrette? Or, how do I make it? Thanks!
