1. Spread the spinach out on a large plate.
2. Cut the tomatoes into 3-4mm slices and arrange these on top of the leaves.
3. Place the ball of cheese in the centre, break the sausage into little pieces and distribute amongst the tomatoes. Pick the basil leaves and place on top.
4. Drizzle the salad with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Season and enjoy. (Nduja is quite salty, so watch your seasoning).
Tomato, Mozzarella & Nduja Salad
SERVES:
4 as a starter, 2 for lunch

1 ball of buffalo mozzarella or burrata
25g basil
4 large heritage or beef tomatoes (the juicier, the better)
3 5mm slices nduja sausage
