Fresh Mozzarella Salad

One of my favorite summer meals is a fresh mozzarella salad.   It's tangy and delish!

Here's how I make mine - you will need:

1. About 3-4 ounces of organic baby mixed greens.  I have a preference for baby arugula and red and green leaf lettuces.
2. About 4 ounces of fresh mozzarella (this is the kind you get in a ball in water) - sliced and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
3. 1 medium organic tomato - cut into bite-sized pieces.
4. A heaping handful of fresh organic basil - break the leaves onto the salad - it releases the flavor better than cutting them.

Arrange all of the above on a platter.  Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste - I use close to a 1 to 1 ratio - I really love the taste of balsamic vinegar!

Add a liberal sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a very scant pinch of salt (take a pinch and then put at least half of it back in the salt dish - sprinkle the rest on the salad)

Enjoy!!!!
