Now...THAT is mean! LOL!
(thought you were tired of them!)
LAYERED MOZZARELLA AND TOMATO SALAD
4 lg. ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 lbs. fresh Mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 c. chopped fresh basil
1/4 c. chopped Italian parsley
1/2 c. Nicoise olives
1/2 c. vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
On a large serving platter, alternate overlapping slices of tomato and Mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle basil, parsley and black olives over all. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and grind black pepper on generously. Serve at room temperature. Serves 6.
VINAIGRETTE:
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
4 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Minced parsley and/or snipped fresh chives to taste
1/2 c. olive oil
Measure mustard into a bowl. Whisk in the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and herbs to taste. Continue to whisk mixture while slowly dribbling in the olive oil until mixture thickens. Adjust seasonings to taste. Cover until ready to use. Vinaigrette is best if made just before it is to be used. If necessary, whisk again before serving. Makes 1 cup.
Oops, I didn’t change it?
~Looking at tagline~
Nope, guess not. I’ve been busy with my Ping list...
LOL!
Ya nut!
Look for ti leaves at the florists’ shops. They’re sold as foliage. Clean them well and cut the ribs out with a sharp knife...save the ribs to tie up the bundle.

I personally like using asparagus or zucchini along with onion..oh...or broccoli & garlic are good too.
Swiss cheese is my fav.
Slices of fresh tomato's & some fresh grated parm on top looks so aesthetic & delish! Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
I love working with my help-mate in the kitchen. She makes beautiful meals, and I make clean dishes.
It’s one of those special partnerships, know what I mean?
Safe trip, Kathy.
I always do as well.
Primo cooks in the canteen.
Well, I’ll be!
I never thought to look for them there!
That will be fun to cook out at the fire pit here at the house this summer!
I almost choked the first time someone set that in front of me. I was a toddler in Italy, and Mom made lots of Italian dishes. Then I married an Italian.
I am so very spoiled...
