The Most Simple of Summer Salads


There is always place at my table for a mozzarella and tomato salad but this extra little bit of heat and sun over the last couple of weeks has made it even more desirable.  I get my buffalo mozzarella in Carluccio's, Fallon and Byrne and most recently Taste of Emilia...yes over the northside!  All provide excellent examples of this southern Italian delicacy.  I do my best to match the mozzarella with some good tomatoes, which are also a little easier to come by with the better weather.  After that a few leaves of fresh basil, some cracked pepper and a good extra virgin olive oil and bob's your uncle!  Oh, and some bread to soak up the flavours.
