Tomatoes & Mozarella

Ok, I'm officially obsessed with tomato & mozarella salads...I've had them at restaurants just a few times but I finally decided I was going to make some myself...and I'm so glad I did. I made myself a delicious one today....I could probably eat one EVERY DAY!! So yummy! If you haven't had one, you must try.



1 tomato (the bigger the better)
1 block of fresh mozarella (this stuff is wet, not dry like the big block of moz)
(you won't use the whole block, but you will be able to get more out of it)
EVOO
Balsamic vinegar

Slice tomato. I like thicker pieces. Slice mozarella. I like them to be a little thinner than the tomato. Layer sideways on the plate, tomato, moz, tomato, moz, etc. Lightly drizzle a little EVOO. But don't put too much on because it will get too oily. Then do the same with the balsamic vinegar. I like a lot of the vinegr.

Viola! Tomato & Moz salad! I also like to add fresh basil, but I couldn't find any at the store last night, which made me mad. So yummy!

Jared thinks I'm crazy. :D

I'm obsessed with tomato and mozerella salads too! I made one a couple of weeks ago but I used cherry tomatoes and chunks of mozarella and a little red onion in addition to the balsamic vinegar.
