Basil Salad With Mozzarella On Ciabatta Bread

- Serves 2
Jamie Oliver must have hundreds of salad recipes but this one is our favorite. It tastes as good as it looked on TV.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of fresh basil (about a fistful per person) shopping list
- 15 olives (nice if they are mixed, black and green) shopping list
- 15 cherry tomatoes (looks pretty when they are mixed sorts and colors) shopping list
- 1 mozzarella cheese shopping list
- 2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- 2 slices ciabatta bread shopping list
- 1 cayenne, crushed shopping list
- 1 teaspoon oregano shopping list
- balsamic vinegar shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- Squeeze cherry tomatoes with your hands in a mixing bowl and tear them apart into smaller pieces. Don't wear your best shirt when you do this. You can cut the tomatoes with a knife but crushing them this way makes sure you get a bunch of nice juices in your salad.
- Remove pit from the olives; crushing them a little first with a pestle or a knife makes it easier. Of course you can buy olives without the pit but the whole ones have more taste.
- Tear olives apart into smaller pieces and mix them with the tomatoes.
- Add the basil, cayenne, oregano and balsamic vinegar.
- Toast some ciabatta bread.
- Put basil salad on the bread and add half a piece of mozarella on top.
- Pour some olive oil on the mozarella, sprinkle some parmesan cheese and enjoy!

This looks incredible! I have no fresh basil right now, just snow on the ground but I can get it at the grocery store. Basil has such a wonderful flavor.
