Ingredients

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

4 minced cloves garlic

3 tsp vinegar

4-6 Tablespoons cooking oil (veg or olive)

5 med tomatoes chopped to desired size (chop small for a chip dip)

OR 3-4 cups cherry tomatoes.

1 quarter med onion chopped (I like red onions but any will do)

6 sticks string mozzarella cheese cut to match tomato size

(optional fresh parsly chopped add as much as you like)

Directions

Mix oregano, basil, salt, pepper, vinegar, oil, and garlic in a small mixing bowl, blend well (I find using a small wisk helps the herbs to be distributed evenly instead of chunking) set aside.

Chop tomatoes, onion, and cheese in larger bowl and toss. The key to this is too make all of these vegetables simular in size. If you are making big chunks of tomatoes or even using cherry tomatoes make the onion and cheese pieces bigger.

Add contents of small bowl to large and toss, cover, and refridgerate for at least 30 minutes

Before serving add chopped fresh parsley if desired.

(As a side note if you want this to be more of a salsa just add 5 chopped chillie peppers, Hope you enjoy!
