Description
There is just nothing like a fresh tomato, basil and mozzarella salad on a hot summer day. Nothing, I tell you!
Ingredients
- 6 whole Tomatoes, Fresh From The Garden Are Best Of Course, Coarse Chopped
- ½ pounds Fresh Mozzarella, Cut Into Chunks
- 15 whole Fresh Basil Leaves, Sliced In Thin Long Strips, Otherwise Known As A Chiffonade
- 3 Tablespoons Dates, Finely Chopped - I Use Sunsweet
- 3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
Preparation
Now I know it may sound weird adding dates to this salad but they actually accentuate the flavor of the balsamic vinegar, thus making the salad even more delicious! If you aren’t a fan of dates feel free to leave them out, but I promise you they really are good in here!
Add tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves and dates into a salad bowl. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the salad, toss and serve.
For a fancier look:
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4 inch thickness. Drain cheese of any excess water and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Set aside.
Chiffonade basil. Arrange the tomato and cheese slices on a platter so they overlap each other. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Top with the basil and dates.
Please note: you can also drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over the salad if you like. It’ll taste good either way!
Enjoy!
