Bocconcini Tomato Salad

Anyway, what I do know is that they’re little round balls of fresh cheese, and they’re a great addition to tomato salads.

A run of warm, sunny weather can bring on a flush or ripe tomatoes and cucumber. And if you grow cucumbers and tomatoes, it helps to have some simple recipes so you can eat lots while they’re in season.

Here’s a simple yet delicious salad.

Bocconcini Tomato Salad

• Cut tomatoes into rounds, ¼ to ½ inches thick;
  
• Peel the cucumber and cut it into rounds of the same thickness;
  
• Lay out cucumber and tomato rounds on a plate;
  
• Cut the bocconcini cheese into halves or rounds;
  
• Lay the bocconcini cheese over the tomato slices;
  
• Place chopped basil (or whole leaves if they are small) over the top;
  
• Make it decorative if you wish: a slice of cheese over each tomato slice, then topped with basil;
  
• Drizzle everything with olive oil and balsamic vinegar;
  
• Perhaps a sprinkle of salt;
  
• You are done!
