There are many different kinds of cuisine. Every culture has its dishes, ingredients, and ways to cook.

Tomato and mozzarella salad

This is a very traditional Italian recipe. It’s delicious, very easy to make and it good for you! This salad contains few ingredients so that the flavors will shine through.

· 1 ½ cup of cherry tomatoes

· ¼ cup of mozzarella balls

· Extra virgin olive oil

· Balsamic vinegar

You will also need:

· Salt and pepper to taste. We recommend using white pepper since black is stronger. Two teaspoons should be plenty.

1) Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix lightly, coating everything equally with the oil and vinegar. As an extra step, you can lightly toast the bread and rub garlic on it for a crunchy, delicious texture. If you want to follow this Italian recipe exactly as it is served in Italy, omit the garlic and butter because Italians traditionally eat their bread dry.

2) Allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes so that tomatoes release some of their juices and combine flavors. After this time has passed, add salt and pepper to taste.

3) Enjoy! You can also add vinaigrette dressing if you want, but it is fine without it. This salad makes a perfect side dish and tastes best when enjoyed right after it’s made!
