Tomato Salad with Fresh Mozzarella and Balsamic Vinegar

This salad is perfect for summertime. It is easy to make and only calls for a few ingredients.

The trick to simple, but flavorful foods is to add flavorful ingredients. Food does not have to be fancy or gourmet to taste good. Making food fresh and flavorful is often the trick to making a dish taste great.
