  4. Add torn mozzarella pieces to the salad and gently toss.

  5. Drizzle the honey mustard dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.

  6. Top with toasted olive bread crumbs and fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately while the bread crumbs are still crispy.

Tips & variations

Perfect Crunch

Toast the bread crumbs just before serving to maintain their crispy texture. Store them separately if making ahead.

Kohlrabi Prep

Use a mandoline or sharp knife to julienne the kohlrabi into thin, matchstick pieces for the best texture and visual appeal.

Cherry Selection

Choose sweet, ripe cherries and pit them carefully. A cherry pitter makes this job much easier and prevents staining your hands.

Vegan Version

Replace mozzarella with cubed avocado or vegan cheese, and use maple syrup instead of honey in the dressing.

Protein Boost

Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas to make this salad a complete meal. The honey mustard pairs beautifully with grilled proteins.
