Vidalia Onion, Tomato, and Basil Salad by www.country-cooking.com
1 Vidalia onion -- large
2 tomatoes -- large
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, part skim milk -- sliced
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves -- chopped
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic -- finely minced
* Garlic is optional.
Slice the tomatoes and cheese into thick slices. Slice the Vidalia
onion into thin slices; chill for best flavor. If Vidalias are not
available substitute Walla Walla, Maui Sweet or Texas 1015.
On salad plates, arrange the tomatoes, onion and cheese in
overlapping design.
In a large measuring cup combine the oil, vinegar, garlic and black
pepper. Use a whisk to blend well. While still stirring, pour over the
vegetables. Garnish with chopped basil. Serve immediately.
