Tomato Salad


Now that we have our own house, I finally got my garden...sort of. The property came with a few cherry tomato plants and I recently bought some herbs. I already had some cherry tomatoes that my mom picked when she visited last last week, then picked some more this morning, which yielded a pretty good load. Since I also had a basil plant, I immediately thought of making a tomato and mozzarella salad. I happen to find fresh mozzarella in the same shape as the tomatoes, which I quartered and added to the halved tomatoes and chopped basil. Lightly toss with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar (I used this really tasty one from Delizia, gifted from my cousin Alice), salt and pepper.
