KITTENCAL'S TOMATO-MOZZARELLA SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a must-make with your summer's crop of tomatoes and fresh basil --- prepare the vinaigrette firstly as it needs a few hours to blend the flavors together and may be doubled if desired --- to take this to yet another level use fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese --- I have served this wonderful salad to a crowd of people many times in the past and also placed Italian cold cuts all around the edge of the platter :)

KITTENCAL'S CAESAR VINAIGRETTE
This is my non-creamy version of a Caesar dressing, and is another favorite that I use for dinner parties when I make a special dinner. Plan ahead this dressing needs to chill for 6 hours to blend flavors, don't make the mistake by adding in too much fresh garlic in this recipe less is best as the garlic flavor will intensify dramatically overnight. Adjust all ingredients to taste. The Parmesan is only optional I like to add it in. Also you could add in one uncooked egg yolk if desired for a richer dressing. Cooking time is 6 hours chilling time.
