Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
15 minutes
This is a beautiful red, green and white salad that adds a colourful aspect to your dinner spread. I find that the colours remind me of Christmas so it is always part of that time of the year for me.

Ingredient Note
As this is a really simple dish it requires good quality ingredients. The tomatoes should be really fresh, red and ripe. A good quality buffalo Mozzarella cheese bought from the deli in liquid works best. The cheese and tomatoes look best if they are about the same size.
