 This is one of our favorite salads and it is so easy to make. Cut up fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella is a semi-soft cheese and usually comes in a ball form. You will usually find it with the gourmet cheeses near the deli. Aldi has 8 oz. balls of fresh mozzarella for $2.49. When I lived near Trader Joe's I would buy fresh mozzarella there. I don't remember the price, but it was reasonable. It is usually pretty expensive in other grocery stores.
To make this salad combine tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. Then grind fresh pepper and salt to taste. Toss together and enjoy. A reader commented that she likes fresh basil in this salad too. I don't usually spend money on fresh basil, but during the summer I love to include fresh basil leaves from the garden.

This is one of my favorites when tomatoes are in season around here. I also like to add lots of fresh basil in mine. I've never heard of Aldi's but a Trader Joe's opened here recently so I'm going to check it out. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
