Easy Tomato-Basil Salad

July 18, 2012 2 Comments

You didn’t kill your tomato plant and now you have fresh, delicious, home grown tomatoes!
Great.
Now what…?

How about a quick spin on a Caprese Salad?

Easy and tasty.
And only a few ingredients.

Take your bounty of home grown tomatoes…

Dice them up and toss them in a bowl.  Sprinkle with salt and snip a few fresh basil leaves into the bowl.  Grate or chop a little soft mozzarella cheese and then toss the whole thing with a little balsamic vinaigrette.

Share.
Or don’t.  It’s up to you.

    I wouldn’t be sharing. It reads very Weight Watchers friendly so, yeah, that’d be all mine.

    I finally just got around to making this even though I’ve been thinking about it ever since I read the post awhile back. And all I can say is Yum! It was so easy to make. I even made my own balsamic vinaigrette and it all only took a few minutes to throw together. Thanks for sharing your yummies with us!
