Summer Tomato Salad

This is heaven for the summertime and continues with my trend of putting up recipes involving both Tomatoes & Basil. What can I say? I guess I'm an addict. This isn't a really technical recipe and measuring really is pointless here. This salad is a get back to basics exercise that takes virtually no time and leaves you thanking yourself for the effort.

First up grab a couple of nice, fresh garden tomatoes and cut them into wedges. Place them in a mixing bowl and toss in a handful of Chopped Basil, a Few Leaves of Fresh Oregano. Two or Three Tablespoons of Minced Vidalia Onion and a Dab of Minced Garlic. Gently spritz the whole thing with Champagne Vinegar & a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Mix it all together with a loving touch. Adjust Salt & Pepper to taste.

Now serve it over some Crisp, Fresh Greens. Get Crazy and Toss in a Little Fresh Mozzarella. Life is good. Summer is tasty!
