Salad Ingredients
Method
Salad Preparation
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the fresh tomatoes under cold running water. Slice them into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference, and place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the Mozzarella
Drain the fresh mozzarella cheese and cut it into bite-sized pieces or slices. Add the mozzarella to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Add Fresh Basil
Rinse the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the tomatoes and mozzarella.
Dress the Salad
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Toss the Salad
Gently toss the salad using two large spoons to combine all the ingredients, ensuring that the dressing coats everything evenly.
Serve
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or serve directly from the bowl. Enjoy immediately as a fresh appetizer or side dish.
