We had a covered dish dinner at church yesterday. One of the ladies brought a tomato-mozarella salad that was delicious.  I asked what the ingredients were, and then I came up with this recipe.  Here’s my version:

Tomato-Mozzarella Salad

 

2 tomatoes (Fresh from the garden is best!)

1 fresh mozzarella ball

2 leaves fresh basil, chopped

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt to taste

 

Prepare immediately before serving. 

Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella so that you end up with the same number of slices of each.  Layer the tomatoes and mozzarella slices (fanned out) on a serving dish – alternating the tomato slices and the mozzarella slices.  Sprinkle the chopped basil on top.  Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Serves 2-4.
