Easy Tomato & Mozzarella Salad
You know I’ve been trying to decide if this Easy Peasy Tomato & Mozzarella Salad needs to go on here as a recipe?
It is the simplest of recipes and just a construction job really.
However a couple of peeps kindly pointed out to me – that I should, just so you can print it for a shopping list 🙂
‘He-Who-Doesn’t-Cook’ even makes this!!! That’s saying something! And he makes it often… and very well
I also think its a really good dish to have when you want to go meat-free for a day or as a side dish at a BBQ or just a lovely lunch…
The Tomatoes for your Easy Tomato & Mozzarella Salad
I love tomatoes, all kinds of tomatoes!
I like to mix it up with all sorts of varieties, red, yellow, green. Sugar plum, all sorts.
I simply love the blend of the all!! Try it!!
Throw in your mozzarella, a big glug of olive oil and handfuls of torn fresh basil and you’re off! Boom
Also known as Caprese salad
It’s My FAVOURITE!!
To serve your tomato salad
I serve as a main dish sometimes with crushed new potatoes and sliced avocado.
We also have it on toast, almost like Bruschetta, simply delicious! I so love lots of different types of tomatoes in this dish!
Or maybe just a large bowl full with bread for a snack, or as I said – it’s really great at a BBQ or summer party!
So fresh and bursting with flavours. I love a dish that is so vibrant and it’s so good for you to eat all the colours!

Easy Tomato & Mozzarella Salad
Ingredients
- 450 g 500g Tomatoes make sure they are really tasty ones, I use mixed ones - different colours are nice

- 1 large Buffalo Mozzarella torn into pieces, roughly
- Hand-full torn Basil leaves
- 1 - 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- Heaped dessert spoon Green Pesto
- Optional - a few sun-dried tomatoes
Instructions
- Cut your tomatoes into bit sized pieces, I tend to cut cherry ones in half and larger ones into 4-6 pieces - place in a large bowl.
- (If you are adding sun-dried tomatoes add them now too)
- Next add the finely chopped red onion together with a sprinkling of salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper
- Next add the Olive oil and pesto and stir round
- Add the torn Mozzarella and torn Basil leaves and just combine using 2 spoons , you don't want it all slimy and green so just minimal mixing
- Make it look pretty with a few basil leaves on top
