This is a great salad to pair with the shaved cucumber salad. I love the freshness of the basil and the creamy bocconcini. If you can't source bocconcini (small mozzarella cheese balls) just use a large mozzarella cheese ball. Also make sure you use freshly cracked pepper.
Ingredients
4 vine ripened tomatos
4 bocconcinis
Handful of basil leaves
Salt & Pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
General directions

- Leave in fridge for an hour or two so that the basil permeates through tomatoes and bocconcini.
