Tomato and mozzarella salad
For a recipe this minimalist, you choose the very best: heirloom tomatoes from a grower, really good buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, a quality olive oil and a good balsamic vinegar. If you have a 12-year-old bottle tucked away, now’s really the time to bring it out. Using only top produce, you won’t go over a budget of €5 a head for a full meal — less than any dish of the day eaten out!
Preparation
-
Step 1
Peel the tomatoes, slice them and leave them to drain on kitchen paper.
Cut the mozzarella into thin slices or small pieces. Finely chop the basil. Make the vinaigrette.
At the last moment, arrange the ingredients on a plate and add the dressing.
To finish this recipe
Nothing more to say… fabulous if you’ve used only good produce… I’d suggest choosing different tomato varieties: Cornue des Andes, cœur de bœuf, Black Krim, pineapple tomato…. Mind you, go to the growers — none of those supermarket tomato substitutes 😀
