Fresh Mozzarella-Tomato Salad

This is a very elegant presentation. Yet so simple. You need to look for the fresh mozzarella cheese for this , it makes a world of a difference. I like to make this in the summer when our tomatoes are in full bloom, and I use different colors of tomatoes. Also the fresh basil is a must. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
