Tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar salad

Tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar salad

We all love this salad. Its sweet, savoury, acidic and so very moorish. You just cannot stop eating it. This is my Tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar salad.

This recipe is so very simple, but seriously so good. Salty, sour, sweet, savoury – all the S’s it seems. This is enough for four people as a side dish, or even a lunch-time main. This is my Tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar salad. You can make this in two ways, depending on what tomato you use. If you use the big beef tomatoes I would tend to have a plate of single slices of tomato, cheese, a basil leaf and then drizzle the dressing. But today I had a punnet of lovely vine ripened cherry tomatoes. So the recipe is as follows;

• 1 punnet of cherry tomatoes – cut in to quarters;
• 1 tub of Boccocini cheese cut in to bite sized pieces;
• 1 packet of fresh sweet basil thinly sliced;
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar;
• 2 tablespoons of good quality olive oil; and
• 2 pinches sea salt and cracked pepper.

My Tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar salad, is really simple, so pay attention folks. Place the tomatoes in a bowl, add the boccocini, the basil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and drizzle over the balsamic and olive oil. Toss lightly. Serve.

Yep that is it. Told you it was easy. But get some of this Tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar salad in your mouth as it is heavenly!!! It’s a cracker – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
