TOMATO BASIL SALAD WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING



Tomato Basil Salad With Balsamic Dressing image

I got this recipe from The New American Heart Association Cookbook. Low fat, low calories, great taste...what's not to love! I usually add more cheese. Refrigerate the tomatoes for at least an hour before serving to let them soak in all that wonderful dressing!
