Tomato, Mozzarella, Cucumber and Basil Salad

What a colorful and tasty summer salad.  These ingredients should be plentiful and affordable at the farmers market (or maybe your backyard).  I added cucumber and onion to this common salad to bring in some extra crunch, fiber, nutrients and flavor.

Ingredients:Tomato Cucumber Mozarella Salad

  • 6 small tomatoes (4 medium)
  • 1 pound fresh mozzarella (use mozz from buffalo if intolerant to cow dairy)
  • 1 large cucumber
  • ½ medium red onion (optional)
  • 10 to 15 basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Slice tomatoes, mozzarella, cucumbers and onions in small cubes or quarters and place in a bowl. Cut basil into thin slices and add to bowl.  Toss everything with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
