It's finally tomato season in Michigan...last week at dinner, Sami brought a tomato salad (tomatoes, basil, and cucumbers from his garden with some fresh mozzarella in a balsamic vinegar dressing) and my sister made the same thing last night (except her version had marinated mozzarella....hmmm good stuff, wish I could get it out here). This has always been a favorite of mine, so I decided to make my version for dinner with some additional lettuce...it's similar to the cucumber, tomato and avocado salad.
Ingredients:
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 10 basil leaves, cut into slices
- 1/2 a cucumber, diced
- 2 lettuce leaves, cut into slices
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- salt, black pepper, thyme
- 1/4 cup of almonds
- 1/3 cup of diced mozzarella
I mixed up the olive and vinegar with a little salt, thyme, and black pepper and then tossed with the rest of the ingredients. It's nice when something that tastes so good only takes like 2 minutes to make.
