Tomato Mozzarella Salad with Zippy Balsamic Vinaigrette


Super easy, super flavorful! This is a great way to get my boys to eat tomatoes, they love this salad. It is super easy and even better when we pick the tomatoes out of out garden and I always have fresh basil in a pot. So good. I made this balsamic dressing years ago and it really pulls the dish together! so good! Hope you love it as much as we do.

Thanks
Monica



Ingredients

1vine ripened tomato (sometimes i mix the colors of the tomato if i can find em) you can also use cherry or grape tomatoes
1ball of fresh mozzarella cheese (if you make it with cherry tomato use the small balls of mozzarella)
balsamic dressing (recipe link below)
thinly sliced proscuitto (optional)
4 fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper (a pinch to taste)

Directions

1
 With a serrated knife slice the tomato, slice the mozzarella a bit thinner
2
 place the tomato slice on the plate, top with a tiny pinch salt and pepper, place the basil leaf on top, then the mozzarella, and repeat.
3
 I like to put the strips of proscuitto on the side of the plate and then top just the tomato mozzarella with the dressing.
