Fresh Tomato Salad


One of our family's favourites, and so simple (really - you can't go wrong with only four ingredients). Great on a hot summer day, as it just bathes the tongue with flavour especially if tomatoes are in season in your area.

Ingredients
  • 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 ball of buffalo mozzarella
  • About 15 fresh basil leaves - more or less depending on size
  • A dash of extra virgin olive oil

Directions
  1. Wash tomatoes thoroughly, quarter them and add them to your salad bowl.
  2. Dice the buffalo mozzarella into small cubes - about 1cm in size works well - and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
  3. Wash the basil leaves and dry them, then rip roughly by hand and toss into the salad bowl.
  4. Just before serving, splash with a small amount of EVOO and toss gently. Enjoy!
