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:

Fresh Basil, carefully chop leaves to prevent bruising
Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, sliced
