We like to serve this one as a nice dinner salad served on a bed of mixed greens! Cook time is actually chilling time, no cooking required, also makes a quick bean salad to bring to bbq's! Adapted from a WebMD article The Part-Time Vegetarian Ingredients:

1 cucumber, finely chopped |
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved |

2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon sea salt |
