Tomato & Bocconcini Salad




Source of Recipe


Internet


Recipe Introduction


Bocconcini are small fresh white mozzarella cheeses sold loose in delicatessens. Use the egg sized ones if you can get them. Do not buy if they are showing dried yellow patches on them.



List of Ingredients




4 - 6 Ripe red tomatoes sliced - we find that the hydroponic “tress” tomatoes have the best flavour
Red & green mignonette lettuce
3 - 4 Bocconcini, sliced
2 Green shallots, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 Cup good olive oil
1/4 Cup red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 Clove garlic, crushed
1 Teaspoon sugar


Recipe



Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, crushed garlic, chopped basil leaves and sugar in a jar and shake well. Put aside.

Put lettuce leaves on a large flat platter. Top with tomato slices. Place sliced bocconcini on top of tomato. Sprinkle with shallots and then the grated parmesan. Shake dressing again and gently drizzle over the salad. Serve immediately.

Note: The dressing will keep for a while in the fridge. We usually make up enough for two servings and keep the remains for the next day or so. It's delicious on other tomato salads as well.
