Summer Salad Infatuation

Keeping the basil plants at the edge of the carport has prevented them for being charred from the August Florida sun.  Therefore, I can not eat enough.  We purchased over a pound of Ciliegine (cherry size fresh mozzerella balls) and have been enjoying the combination in a couple ways.

Beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
Balsamic glaze, drizzled
Chiffonade basil
Tiny piles of sliced mozz



The Perfect Salad.

Italian salad mix
Red peppers
Marinated artichoke hearts
Fresh mozz
Sea salt & ground black pepper
Basil


The marinade from the artichokes makes an instant salad dressing.  Adding a generous splash of balsamic vinegar (not glaze) was all I added.
