For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create wide ribbons of zucchini. Feel free to experiment with different types of mozzarella, such as burrata or ciliegine (cherry-sized mozzarella balls). This salad is best served immediately after adding the arugula and basil to maintain their freshness.
