Tomatoes and fresh basil are a classic combination! It doesn't get much better or much simpler that this - it's absolutely delicious! I decreased the onion and I probably could have left it out altogether. I plated this vs. tossing in all in a bowl. Plus I NEVER chill it but rather leave it at room temperature. It's so fresh and so good it could be a meal in and of itself! It's perfect with a a side a crusty Italian bread and a good wine. A definite crowd pleaser!
N.J. is known for growing the tastiest tomatoes in the country and we all know never to refrigerate these red beauties as they will lose their flavor. After combining the ingredients including garlic I just let the mixture sit on my counter to absorb all the wonderful flavors. Ten minutes before serving I added the cheese. Thanks so much Kathy for a great side!!!!
So Good!!! Using fresh picked tomatoes and basil from our garden really make this dish. A summer long favorite at lunch or dinner.
Use fresh ingredients...especially the mozzerella and seed the tomatoes so it's not a wet mess.
This was a great salad. I messed up and got shredded mozzarella without thinking but it still turned out great! Rave reviews all around!
Very good salad. I only rated a 4 because I changed it up a bit by adding a clove of minced fresh garlic and making the dressing using 3 parts extra virgin olive oil to 1 part of the balsamic vinegar. 1/2 balsamic and 1/2 oil makes it very tart and overpowering. Make sure the balsamic is the best you can buy the older the better the more syrupy it is the better. Trader Joe's sells a very nice aged balsamic for less than 10 a bottle.
Extremely easy and very tasty. A nice side dish for a bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Thank you for sharing it.
Loved this! Easy Fast and Yummy!
I wanted add a new italian salad for italian night dinner. My husband and 17 year old daughter loved it. It was so flavorful and zesty. They ended mixing leftovers with lettuce berg. Thanks it was a hit! Raquel Altavilla
The flavor was great but I think I'll stick with Bruschetta it's easier to eat.
