A Farm Favorite

his classic salad is so easy to make you can throw it together in your sleep, but there is just nothing to beat that rush of flavor that comes from combining tomatoes with basil, cheese, and a tangy dressing! Try serving it along with some crusty bread to help sop up the delicious juices.

 

1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered, or 2 slicing tomatoes cut into hearty chunks

1 tbs balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

1 garlic clove, minced

8oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into ½in cubes and patted dry

2 tbs olive oil

1 handful of fresh basil, chopped

 

Toss all ingredients together in one bowl and let sit for 15-30min before serving to allow the flavors to combine (if you can even wait that long).
