WISCONSIN FRESH MOZZARELLA, TOMATO AND BASIL SALAD



Wisconsin Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil Salad image

This is a wonderful salad! Fresh mozzarella may be hard to find so regular may be substituted, although it won't be exactly the same. Fresh mozzarella is submerged in water to retain it's moisture content and preserve it's soft, slightly elastic texture. Best when only a few days old, it has a delicate, milky texture. This recipe is from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.

Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella Salad With Basil image

We are buying tomatoes this summer in huge amounts so this is what we are eating pretty much every day. This is the base version, but I also sometimes throw avocado or green onion in. You can do pretty much anything you want with this. It's sooo easy. The amounts are just approximates - it will vary by taste.

1 large fresh mozzarella ball
5 -10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
salt
pepper
