Salad Alert!!

[joanneg]

I saw on another thread somebody suggested that a nice salad is mozzarella, tomato and basil (is this the fresh basil or chopped?) Can you tell me in load of detail how I do this. Is it just a case of choping it up and putting these 3 ingredients in a bowl? I know I sound thick but I am not good at all this cooking stuff!

You can do a fancy version which involves slicing the tomatoes, arranging the slices on a plate, and then the mozzarella in slices in vaguely presentable fashion on top. Then rip fresh basil leaves and strew around on top of that. Slosh some olive oil around as well.

If you feel inspired, you can add sliced avocado and call it Insalata Tricolore.

And some balsamic vinegar, ground salt and pepper. It's yummy
