Salad-Cucumber, Tomato, & Mozzarella

By Melzie

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• This simple salad is a version of an Italian standard. You'll find fresh, white mozzarella cheese in most delis or supermarkets — it's very different from the pale yellow, packaged mozzarella.
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp quality extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cucumber, peeled and seeded
• 1 large Roma tomato, sliced
• 1 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
• 3 leaves fresh basil, chopped
