This week’s 5 Ingredient Friday recipe is inspired by my CSA box! We’re on a Tomato and Basil overload this week, so I figured I’d make a delicious Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella Salad for dinner one night. We had both Red Grape Tomatoes and Yellow Grape Tomatoes on hand, as well as a few Heirloom Tomatoes. You can use whatever kind of Tomatoes you have on hand as long as they are delicious! This is so simple to make, and it tastes so fresh! And it’s a bonus that everything is organic and local.
Ingredients
- Tomatoes (I used Red Grape Tomatoes & Yellow Grape Tomatoes)
- Fresh Basil
- Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
- Salt & Pepper (freebies!)
- Olive Oil
- Balsamic Vinegar Reduction
Instructions
Slice up the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Slice the Mozzarella and then cut up into chunks. Place the cheese in the bowl around the tomatoes. Cut up the fresh Basil and sprinkle all over the Tomatoes and Mozzarella. Drizzle some olive oil all over the salad. To finish it off, drizzle some of the Balsamic Vinegar Reduction all over. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
This salad is so delicious and fresh tasting, it’s great for during the summer when you don’t want to turn on the stove or the oven. We have so many tomatoes from our CSA that I didn’t know what to do with them all. But this was the perfect solution. And who doesn’t love an excuse to eat some fresh mozzarella?!
