4 sliced plum tomatoes or 1 sack of cherry tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped purple onions

1 ball of fresh mozzarella

10 leaves of fresh basil

2 cloves of fresh garlic

Chop all ingredients together. Right before serving, add 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

We serve this on “fried” french bread. Yes, you heard right. We slice french bread and cover both sides with butter (not margarine). We get a skillet hot and put each piece in the skillet and brown on both sides. You can also put a little garlic powder in the butter before spreading it on the bread, if you like. Personally, I don’t think you can ever have too much garlic!
