Yum! What an easy, summery, flavorful salad! Especially so, because I had home-grown tomatoes and basil! I love the presentation, too. I did add the balsamic vinegar...nice!

I agree with the other comments (use fresh mozerella, etc.) It's hard to find in some areas. Trader Joe's has it. Italian deli's have it, if you are lucky enough to have one where you live. I just have one suggestion. Drizzle on some Balsamic vinegar along with the olive oil. I travelled all over Italy last summer and ate this salad everywhere. Many places added the Balsamic and it makes a good salad really good!

This is a great light salad. Even my children love it. I like to add a little fresh cracked black pepper to it.
