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.

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
