Meal in a Bowl Tomato Salad
aka - Caprese Salad
I call it meal in a bowl because I often have it for dinner - no cooking!! It has vegetables (tomatoes and onion), protein (cheese) and carbohydrates (french bread). Right now, while gardens and farmers markets are rich in tomatoes, it's the opportune time to prepare this luscious salad.
For each bowl,
2-3 ripe, juicy tomatoes, washed and cut into bite sized pieces
About 3-4 very thin slices through a red onion
2 oz. of fresh mozzarella sliced into bite sized pieces
3-4 fresh basil leaves, snipped into the bowl
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dress salad with about 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Mix it all together. Slice french bread diagonally and get ready to dip. This salad creates lots of wonderful dipping juice.
From The Message: Genesis 1:11-13 "God spoke: Earth, green up! Grow all varieties of seed bearing plants, every sort of fruit bearing tree. And there it was. Earth produced green seed-bearing plants, all varieties and fruit bearing trees of all sorts. God saw that it was good. It was evening, it was morning - day three."
