Caprese Tomato Mozzarella Salad
This is a classic combination of Italian
- 4 big, ripe, tomatoes (about 6 cups, chopped)
- 1 package mozzarella pearls, drained (8 oz each)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 3/4 cup extra version olive oil.
Chop tomatoes, discarding and green sections connected to the stem or core. Combine tomatoes and drained mozzarella pearls in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic, and vinegar or lemon juice. Pour olive oil in a thin stream and whisk into other ingredients until a dressing forms.
Pour dressing over tomatoes and cheese, and stir gently to combine. Serve salad with crusty toasted bread. Enjoy!
