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

INSTRUCTIONS
 

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