For the best flavor, use the highest quality extra virgin olive oil you can find. Its fruity notes will enhance the overall taste of the salad. If you can't find mozzarella di bufala, regular fresh bocconcini will work just fine. Look for the freshest possible mozzarella. Feel free to add other fresh herbs, such as oregano or parsley, to the salad for an extra layer of flavor. This salad is best served immediately, as the arugula can wilt if left to sit for too long. A light chiffonade of basil makes an elegant and flavorful garnish.
