This tastes like the salad that is served at a famous Italian restaurant chain in my area. It's perfect with fresh loaf of crusty bread. For the best flavor be sure to use fresh whole-milk mozzarella it puts the packaged varieties to shame. You can find fresh mozzarella in Italian delis, gourmet markets, cheese shops and some grocery stores. Ingredients:
4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges |
14 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced |
1 red onion, sliced |
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cheese, onion, oil, vinegar, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss and chill for 1 hour. Serve on large platter. |
