This classic Italian salad is extremely easy to make. To ensure good flavor, get the best and freshest ingredients you can. (I'm fortunate enough to have a basil plant, whose wonderful aroma more than compensates for shortcomings in the tomatoes this time of year. Read more ) Serve with crusty bread to soak up the juices!

YUM!!! Another thing you can do is reduce a cup of balsamic vinegar (just let it simmer over med-lo heat til it thickens) and it makes a nice sauce to drizzle over the salad.

This is a great dish. I would suggest using Buffalo Mozzarella if you can get it. Unfortunately I can't. :(
