Fresh and Easy Basil Tomato Salad with Fresh Mozzarella

Fresh and Easy Basil Tomato Salad with Fresh Mozzarella is my own recipe, adapted from a tasty and refreshing salad that I ordered in an Italian restaurant.

It's easy and healthy and great for a quick meal or as an addition to pot luck dinners.
