Summer Series - Tomatoes, Basil, and Mozzie

My kids love garden fresh tomatoes. There are so many amazing things to do with tomatoes. One simple recipe is Tomatoes, Basil and Mozzarella. With a homemade dressing and some garlic....oooof you got a classic for summertime snacking.


Recipe


2-3 good sized tomatoes thickly sliced
Fresh Basil Leaves
Thinly sliced Mozzarella
Olive Oil (Mixed blend of Regular and Extra Virgin)
Red Wine Vinegar
Cracked Sea Salt
Cracked Pepper
Italian or Oregano Seasoning Mix
Fresh Garlic Thinly sliced

Preparation

In a large plate or platter place the Tomato slices as a base on the bottom. Drizzle with Olive oil, Vinegar, Garlic and seasonings. Next, place the Mozzarella on top and provide another layer of drizzle as you did with the tomatoes. Top with the fresh basil and this layer is optional. I like a third layer of drizzle, and I like the fresh pop of basil. Either one is fine. Let set for at least an hour for brine to flavor the Tomatoes and Mozzarella.

There are many options to choose from. On it's own or with bread. You will love this summer time snack.
