8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese (mozzarella di bufala)

2 cups mache or arugula leaves

1. In a large bowl, mix together tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, cucumber and cornichons (if using). In a medium-size bowl, whisk mustard, tarragon, parsley, capers and vinegar together until blended. Whisk in oil and add to vegetables.

2. Cut half of mozzarella into ¼-inch cubes and gently fold into salad. Slice remaining mozzarella into thin rounds.
