Blueberry, Watermelon, Cucumber, Mint and Fresh Mozzerella Salad with Cava Vinaigrette

The cool and refreshing summer salad is not only delicious; but also easy to make. I made it with some pan seared bronzini and basmati rice but it would stand well equally with chicken or beef and I think it would especially compliment pork. It’s also a great way to use up leftover Cava.
