Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
Recipe by Graham
Mozzarella is a soft Italian cheese that is usually bought in sealed packets of about 125g (nearly 5 oz). The mix of tomato and Mozzarella makes a delicious salad accompaniment or can be served on its own as a fresh summer starter course.

How to Cook Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
- Slice the tomatoes and arrange on a plate. Slice the Mozzarella and place the slices between the tomatoes so that the arrangement alternates tomato-cheese-tomato etc. Salt the dish to taste. Peel and finely chop the shallot then sprinkle it over the tomato and Mozzarella. Pour about half a cup of Summer Oil Dressing over the dish and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves to create a summer platter that is equally delicious on its own, with a cold meats, or as an accompaniment to a barbeque or with a nice steak.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Don't be mean with the basil - it improves both the appearance and the taste.

| September 13 2014 Thank you so much! Forgot I had to fix a salad. took more time to run down the street to get the cheese than to make the salad. I think it was everyones favorite dish. Very simple, very tasty! My eldest son and husband ate almost all of it. Luckily they left me at least one slice. cameron (2 reviews) |
