A 'composed' salad. |
Ingredients:
- 3 or 4 sliced tomatoes (depending on how large you want your salad to be)
- about 10 leaves of fresh basil, placed on the plate as whole leaves or ribboned as shown above
- fresh mozzarella cheese (in this case, I used bocconcini)
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- drizzle of olive oil
- splash of balsamic vinegar ( optional)
Editorial Note: The whole point of using the sponge-like and pretty much tasteless mozzarella cheese is to absorb the flavours of the other ingredients.
