Tomato Basil Mozzarella Salad

Tradition says that sweet basil grew all over the hillside where Saint Helena discovered the Holy cross on which our Lord died.

Here is a recipe for one of my favorite ways in which to use basil:


Tomato Basil Mozzarella Salad

Ingredients:

Tomatoes, sliced
Fresh Basil, carefully chop leaves to prevent bruising
Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, sliced
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper

Directions:

Assemble the salad with slices of tomatoes, basil leaves, and mozzarella slices. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the salad. Then add a dash of vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!
