An Italian classic that even looks like the flag. I always forget how good this actually is, and how easy it is to make. Gotta be fresh perfect ingredients, or dont bother. Good buffalo mozzarella and ripe tomatoes are a must…
So – 2 versions of the same salad. Either bocconcini (tiny balls of mozzarella) paired with halved cherry tomatoes – mixed in a bowl, or large buffalo mozzarella balls and ripe beef tomatoes sliced ad layered on a plate.
Ingredients:
by eye – roughly equal quantities of tomatoes and mozzarella
fresh basil leaves, sliced or ripped
salt & pepper
olive oil
a little sherry or balsamic vinegar if the tomatoes need it.
Serve with crusty bread – a good sourdough is perfect.
