1 Video | Photo: Paula's Mozzarella and Tomato Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 fresh basil leaves
Directions
Arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices on a platter or individual salad plates, overlapping the slices and fanning them out like a deck of cards.
Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Drizzle with the oil.
Garnish with the basil: Cut it into very thin slices or tear into bits and sprinkle on top or leave the leaves whole and tuck them here and there between the mozzarella and tomato slices. Serve immediately.

Very simple, very tasty! My eldest son and husband ate almost all of it. Luckily they left me at least one slice.

Another additiion along with the balsamic vinegar is fresh garlic. I chop a clove of garlic for a small batch and accordingly for however much I am fixing. I have also found that the jarred freeze-dried basil leaves are not bad at all when good fresh basil is not available. My brand is Litehouse.
