Tomato & mozzarella salad

I like a simple salad as a starter, and the combination of tomatoes and mozarella, with the right dressing, is particularly pleasant in summer. I like it with either balsamic vinegar dressing, or very simply with a good quality olive oil (unfiltered is best I think).

Serves 4-6:

200g buffalo mozzarella, sliced
500g tomatoes on the vines, sliced
300g mixed leaves salad (containing wild rocket and baby spinach if possible)
salt & pepper
unfiltered extra virgin olive oil

Italian salad

I love all the ingredients so this salad is like heaven. I am just looking forward to my own wild rocket to have grown enough: I bet it will taste even nicer! Rocket is my favourite green salad.

So for this dish I used some rocket salad, basil (and other mixed green leaves I have forgotten the name of), cherry tomatoes, halved, thin slices of vegetarian Parmesan, freshly cracked black pepper and unrefined, mechanically pressed extra virgin olive oil.
