Tomato Basil Salad With Balsamic Dressing
"I got this recipe from The New American Heart Association Cookbook. Low fat, low calories, great taste...what's not to love! I usually add more cheese. Refrigerate the tomatoes for at least an hour before serving to let them soak in all that wonderful dressing!"

I would never ever use sugar in a Caprese salad. Lucious tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, some very lovely crystally sea salt, Some really good Olive oil and a few drops of balsamic. Done.

This recipe was fantastic! We ended up adding more mozzarella to make it similar to a caprese salad, but either variation would be great. -
Refreshing dressing. I love balsamic with basil and then add fresh roma tomatoes right from the garden - Perfect side salad -
There can't possibly be a better way to enjoy fresh, garden tomatoes and basil! The only thing I changed was the number of tomatoes, since mine were very small. A perfect recipe.
