Mozzarella and Tomato Salad

Recipe Information
Source: Kate Ransdell Serves/Makes:4 Ingredients 2 firm, ripe tomatoes, cored and sliced 4 ounces fresh mozzerella 2 tbsp (30 ml) minced garlic 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh basil, minced 1 tsp (5 ml) salt 4 tbsp (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil Preparation In a mixing bowl toss together the garlic, basil, salt and olive oil. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. Alternate sliced tomatoes and slices of FRESH mozzerella on small salad plate. Drizzle with dressing. Comments I suppose you could use regular, grocery store-type mozzerella in this, but using fresh makes all the difference in the world. Same goes for the basil -- use only fresh. This is also excellent if you dice the tomatoes and mix in with the olive oil, etc. I then use it as a topping on fresh-baked focaccia bread, topped with a piece of fresh mozzerella and a fresh basil leaf. Excellent appetizer.
