Description
This salad is best used with fresh mozzarella (the kind that is kept in liquid in the specialty cheese area of your grocery store).
|
Directions
1) Arrange the sliced tomatoes around the edge in a shallow dish.
2) Place Mozzarella slices in the centre, so that the tomatoes are just visible around the edge of the dish.
3) If using olives, arrange the olives on top.
4) Mix the oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper and pour over the tomatoes, cheese and olives.
5) Either serve or cover and chill for up to three hours.
