TOMATO BASIL MOZZARELLA SALAD

Tomato Basil Mozzarella Salad image

Instead of tossed salad, I serve these attractive tomato and mozzarella slices, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with basil. They're especially tasty made with fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden. -Concetta Maranto Skenfield, Bakersfield, California
