This simple salad is a version of an Italian standard. You'll find fresh, white mozzarella cheese in most delis or supermarkets - it's very different from the pale yellow, packaged mozzarella.
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1/2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 Cucumber, peeled and seeded
1 Large Roma tomato, sliced
1 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese
3 Leaves fresh basil, chopped
1. Mix the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and garlic in a small bowl.
2. On a salad plate, layer slices of the cucumber, tomato and cheese.
3. Drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh basil.
