Mozzarella & Tomato Salad
"This is a my rip-off version of a ready made salad that I bought in Marks & Spencer (UK zaars will know them!)When I get a chance I need to faff about with the dressing, the balasamic vinegar makes the cheese a funny colour!... but it's OK as it is I think. If you can't get Mozzarella Pearls, then it shouldn't make much difference if you just cut some Mozzarella into small pieces. The pearls look nicer and are about the same size as a small cherry tomato."

I love tomato and mozzerella salads!! I made just as posted except I didn't add the pine nuts because I don't really care for them. This was delicious! Thanks for posting. Made for PAC fall 08' -
this is one of my favorite salads. i made it, as suggesterd with the small mozzarella balls, and home grown basil. i did omit the sugar, but sprinkled with toasted pine nuts. very tasty.

Hi, I'm Sandie. I live in London with my two little kittens (6 months at the moment...May 06)and work as a Finance Administrator in a university department. I love to cook, but live on my own so don't do as much as I used to. Like making cakes particularly.
In my spare time I read, I like to go to the theatre and cinema, I make beaded jewellery and do some patchwork & quilting and other needlework.
.....Ooh....and, of course, I love to eat out!!
