Tomato, mozzarella and basil salad

[pacific breeze]

A simple classic that never goes out of style and always tastes wonderful. Home-grown tomatoes are best, but any fresh ripe tomato will do.

Fresh tomatoes, sliced
Fresh basil, leaves carefully chopped as not to bruise
Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic wine vinegar
Salt and pepper

Assemble the salad with slices of tomatoes, basil leaves, and mozzarella slices. Sprinkle extra virgin olive oil over the salad. Add a dash of vinegar and a very light sprinkling of salt and pepper. For a completely different flavor, you can substitute the mozzarella with thin slices of Parmesan.

Right on, that's what they call it in Europe and I ate a lot of it while I was there.

This is my favorite summer meal. Little bit of bread and some wine. Perfect.
