- 3 large fresh tomatoes
- 16 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, only fresh will do
- 1/2 small red onion, Sliced Thin
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives, experiment with different kinds of olives and slice them yourself. Really adds a nice touch
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped I have also used Lemon Basil with good results
- 1/8 cup fresh oregano
- kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
Method
- Slice Mozzarella Cheese into small slices.
- Slice tomatoes thick. Be sure to remove all of the core and the bottom little black dot.
- Combine tomatoes and Cheese with the remaining ingredients.
- Toss Well and make sure everything is coated.
- Chill for 1 hour ( minimum), although you don't want to leave in the refrigerator too long -- you don't want it to become mushy.
- When ready to serve, arrange tomatoes on a large platter, put some of the cheese slices/chunks on each tomato slice.
- Work in olives and onions to make it pretty.
- Drizzel remaining dressing over this.
- Garnish with Fresh Basil Leaves and Oregano Leaves.
