Cooking For One: Buffalo Clementine Salad

Cooking for one at uni, I'm normally obliged to not buy certain things if I'm not going to be able to eat it all, especially if it's expensive and I don't want to be eating the same meal for three nights in a row. Buffalo Mozzarella might not seem exciting but when it's really good quality, like the one we sell at Andrews, its smells and tastes divine. This week I'm going to create 3 delicious yet different meals to make the expense worth it.

My first creation: Mozzarella, Clementine and Parma Ham salad. This combination, admittedly stolen from J.O, is great as all three different textures work really well together. I simply tore up some mixed salad leaves and rocket (the rest to be used later in the week), tore up two slices of Parma ham and sliced one clementine into segments. I want to make the mozzarella last three meals so made a small slit in the top of the bag and poured the 'milk' into a small bowl. I then split the mozzarella into three and placed  two pieces into the bowl, covered and put in the fridge. The milk is necessary to keep the cheese from going dry. The remaining third was again torn and arranged on the plate. A small amount of extra virgin oil can be drizzled over with a sprinkling of black pepper.
