Tomato and Oaxacan Cheese Salad image

Oaxacan (wah-hah-can) is similar to mozzarella if it were braided. It shreds & pulls apart like string cheese. Summertime tomatoes make this salad shine! Stack all the ingredients into a tower, it is gorgeous, almost to pretty to eat! From Elote Cafe cookbook & chef Jeff Smedstad.
