Featured Recipe: Tomato Mozzarella Salad

Salads

My student Antonella (an Italian from France!) gave me this wonderful but simple salad, and since then every time I have fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil on hand, I have to make this!  What follows is a quote of her telling me how to make it. As you can tell, she is a delightful girl!

“For the salad it is very simple. Take a tomato and cut it in slices. (I use 1 tomato per person.) Take some Mozzarella** and cut it in slices. (I use 2 oz per person.)  Put one slice of tomato and one slice of Mozzarella all around the dish. Put on salt, and fresh basil pieces (I use about ½ tablespoon per person), and olive oil (I use 1 teaspoon per person), and fresh oregano pieces (about ½ tablespoon per person). (I also add sea salt and freshly ground pepper.) And eat them together. It’s like a dream!”

(Isn’t she cute?)

**This Mozzarella is not the white rubbery kind that is sold normally in America. This Mozzarella is a whiter, softer variety like is common in Italy. It can be found in the gourmet cheese section of some grocery stores in America; usually it’s sold in a little bag floating in some liquid. And yes, it’s worth the search!!
