Tomato, Buffalo Mozzarella and Basil Salad

What I love most about Summer is relying on fresh, seasonal ingredients to do all the talking. This simple salad of tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and fresh garden basil is lightly dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and that is all it takes to make one of the most delicious summer sides. No muss, no fuss, just damn good. And when 2 of the 3 main ingredients come from my back yard, well I’m sold.
