Ingredients

2 vine-ripened tomatoes
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 bunch fresh basil, leaves hand torn
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 balls buffalo mozzarella

Directions

Cut the large tomatoes into 6 or 8 wedges and the cherry tomatoes in half and put them into a bowl. Add the basil leaves, olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. With your hand, gently mix everything together and squeeze the tomatoes a bit to release some of their juices. Cut the mozzarella into bite sized chunks and add them to the tomatoes. Gently toss to blend everything together and serve immediately.

Terrific!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I liked the idea of mixing it in a bowl rather than constructing on a plate. The light squeezing of the tomatoes makes a huge... difference. Any additional ingredients would take away from the simple classic flavors.Read more

A drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar in a puddle of Extra virgin Olive oil and some finely chopped fresh garlic or shallot would... really dress this classic dish well. A little wine, a piece of crusty bread and your set for the rest of the evening.Read more
