Tomato Mozzarella Salad

Tomato Mozzarella Salad is simple but satisfying, especially when paired with a nice baguette. This salad has many variations, but on the day I made this version, I kept it very simple. I cubed the cheese, diced the vine-ripened tomatoes, tore some fresh basil and tossed all these together with a little bit of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sea salt and fresh pepper. I served this with slices of Against the Grain gluten free baguette, which I purchase regularly from Earth Fare. This could be served as an appetizer, in which case you can top toasted slices of bread with the mixture- bruscetta style. Another variation would be to skip the vinegar and oil, cut the bread into larger pieces, slice open, top with the mixture and melt in the broiler for a couple of minutes...delicious!
