I miss this salad the most of any cheesy/Italian-oriented salads, hence myriad efforts to create the most mozzo-seeming alternative cheese possible. Otherwise can't go wrong with fresh basil and tomatoes...for a night-shade free/AIP version sub tomatoes with beets, cucumbers, or some other sweet-ish juicy/crunchy vegetable or fruit (melon...Asian pear even?).
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe, fresh tomatoes (preferably garden variety or farmer's market)
  • a handful of fresh basil
  • 1 ball of 'mozzo' cheese
  • sprinkle of sea salt
  • dollop of good olive oil
Instructions
  1. Slice tomatoes and cheese in rounds. Wash basil.
  2. Lay out slices of tomato and cheese, alternating, and sprinkle with pieces of basil.
  3. Finish with sea salt and olive oil. Done, ba dum dum.
