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)
  • 15 olives (nice if they are mixed, black and green)
  • 15 cherry tomatoes (looks pretty when they are mixed sorts and colors)
  • 1 mozzarella cheese
  • 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 slices ciabatta bread
  • 1 cayenne, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Olive oil

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Tear olives apart into smaller pieces and mix them with the tomatoes.
  4. Add the basil, cayenne, oregano and balsamic vinegar.
  5. Toast some ciabatta bread.
  6. Put basil salad on the bread and add half a piece of mozarella on top.
  7. Pour some olive oil on the mozarella, sprinkle some parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Sounds wonderful! Love ciabatta bread!


I love all of this! Actually one of my favorite salads and love ciabatta bread also...


Es un poco raro, verdad? que un británico haga estas ensaladas mediterráneas tan fabulosas...
Yo también tengo un par de libros de él.


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.
