    Layered Tomato and Mozzarella Salad


    Source of Recipe


    JoAnna M. Lund


    Recipe Introduction


    Tomatoes and mozzarella make a splendid pair no matter how they're served, but I thought layering them together would be festive and fun. Choose the most luscious bright-red tomatoes you can find for this dish--you'll make what's already good even better!
    Serves 4


    List of Ingredients


    • 4 (medium-sized) fresh ripe tomatoes
    • 8 (3/4-ounce) slices Kraft reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
    • 1/2 cup Kraft Fat Free Italian Dressing
    • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) chopped ripe olives
    • 1/4 cup fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves


    Instructions


    1. Slice top off each tomato and discard; then cut each tomato into 3 slices. For each salad, place bottom slice on a salad plate, arrange 1 slice of mozzarella cheese over bottom, place center slice of tomato over cheese, arrange another slice of cheese over tomato slice, place top of tomato over cheese, drizzle 2 tablespoons Italian dressing over top, and garnish with 1 tablespoon olives and 1 tablespoon basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
