Tomato, artichoke heart, mozzarella balls and olive salad recipe?

I have been buying this salad from Albertsons for years. It consists of small tomatos, artichoke hearts, olives and I believe small mozzarella balls, I could be wrong, in an Italian dressing. I know this recipe sounds self explanitory but I would love the exact same taste.Tomato, artichoke heart, mozzarella balls and olive salad recipe?
Yeah....that is good stuff....I worked for Albertson's Loved that salad....I would get a little bit for lunch once in a while.


You know I have bought different stuff before and brought it home and tried to come close to the flavors....You can do that......it probably is a commercial Italian dressing.
