Tomato and Mozzerella salad with Basil Vinegrette, for two

I am a big fan of Italian food, this is one of my favorite simple side dishes.

INGREDIENTS

Salad:
1 med. Tomato, chopped
2 ounces Mozzarella cheese, cubed
2 cups Salad greens

Vinegrette:
2 tsp. Dried Basil
1/4 cup Minced Garlic
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
2 cups Olive Oil
Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Make the vinegrette.

Combine prepared tomato and mozzarella in a small bowl and pour 1/4 cup of the vinegrette over it, toss well to coat. Reserve remaining vinegrette for a later meal, or use it as a great marinade for chicken. Arrange salad on two plates and place half the tomato mixture on each.

Serve.
