Why the Recipe Works
When it comes to building a salad, ease is the most important factor. Salads are suppose to be easy to make especially when the weather starts to warm up. This Tomato & Mozzarella Salad takes less that 15 minutes to make and is completely portable if taking to a picnic or summer bbq. And with only five ingredients, it’s likely you already have what you need to put it together.
Tomato & Mozzarella Salad Ingredients
This recipe starts with a full plate of tomatoes. I love the colorful heirloom tomatoes in season during the spring and summer months.
Here’s the full list of ingredients:
- Heirloom or Roma Tomatoes
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Olive Oil
- Basil
- Parsley
- Salt & Pepper
How to Make this Recipe
- Cut off the stem on the tomatoes and cut in quarters.
- Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into bite size pieces.
- Drizzle enough olive oil over the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese to cover.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Get your hands dirty and combine everything by hand.
- Add the parsley and basil and again mix by hand to cover the tomatoes completely.
- Pour onto a serving dish and you are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- The tomatoes can be cut even smaller if you prefer it. The key is to make sure the seeds of the tomato stay intact.
- You can pre-make the salad before you serve and leave it at room temperature. This will allow all the flavors to come together even more.
- Store the left-overs in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. It will last you a few days.
