My Favorite Summer Salad
For the past week I've been having my favorite summer salad for lunch. I usually have a homemade salad for lunch most days and during the growing season the majority of the ingredients come from my garden. However once the tomatoes start to ripen and the cucumbers are ready, it's time for tomato-cucumber-mozzarella salad!
It's so simple to make (less than 5 minutes) and tastes oh so good. Here's the specs:
1 8" cucumber sliced
Tomato slices (any kind - amount equal to that of the cucumber slices)
6 1" fresh mozzarella balls, halved
2 slices red onion, halved
2 leaves fresh basil
Newman's Own Light Lime Vinaigrette
Salt + Pepper
Chiffonade the basil. Mix together the cucumber, tomatoes, onions, mozzarella, and basil. Add a splash of the lime vinaigrette and then salt and pepper to taste. That's it - Yum!
