Summer cooking has never been so simple!
Our Tomato Basil Mozzarella Salad is about as simple as summer cooking gets. With just five ingredients, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, creamy mozzarella, good olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt, it comes together in minutes and needs almost nothing from you to taste great.
The one thing worth doing is letting it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. The tomatoes soften and deepen in flavor, the basil perfumes the bowl, and the flavors come together into something that tastes like summer. It’s an easy dish, and one worth making on repeat.
