Owen's Mozzarella And Tomato Salad

I will start with an easy one. This simple salad is more than it seems to be. It is from Italian Kitchen. It takes about 10 min to do it. But requires about 30 min of cooling. Here how:

Ingredients

• 4 large tomatoes
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• ground black pepper to taste
• 10 ounces mozzarella cheese, thickly sliced
• 8 leaves fresh basil, torn into strips

Directions

1. Chop tomatoes in half, then slice finely; arrange on four plates. Trickle a tablespoon of olive oil over each serving, and sprinkle with black pepper. Lay slices of cheese over tomatoes, and strips of basil over cheese. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
