Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz mini mozzarella balls whole or cut in half ( I used medium-mini size and cut them in half into bite size pieces)
  • 2 cups tomatoes in season cut into quarters or half depending on size.
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil good quality makes a huge difference
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl add all the salad dressing ingredients.
  2. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella balls and toss in the dressing.
  3. Season generously with salt and pepper and stir in the basil chiffonade.
  4. Basil should go in last, right before serving as it will wilt and get brown after a while.
