Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g mixed heritage tomatoes , sliced
1 large shallot , sliced into thin rings

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to a great tomato mozzarella salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Choose fresh mozzarella cheese. Fresh mozzarella is soft, creamy, and has a milky flavor. It's the best type of mozzarella to use in this salad.
  • Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella evenly. This will help ensure that they cook evenly and that each bite has a good balance of flavors.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. A good quality olive oil will add a lot of flavor to the salad. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
  • Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like. I also like to add a little balsamic vinegar for a touch of acidity.

Conclusion:

Two Hearts Tomato Mozzarella Salad is a classic Italian dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It's simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few fresh ingredients, you can create a delicious and beautiful salad that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing meal, give this salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
