Fresh basil and juicy summer tomatoes combine in this side-dish salad.
Susan Alameda of Urbana, Illinois, created it.

Freshly ground black pepper

1. In a large glass bowl, combine the tomato wedges, olive oil and
torn fresh basil. Add the vinegar, if you like. Toss the salad
mixture to combine. Add the t mozzarella or provolone cheese. Cover
and chill for at least 1 hour.

2. If the olive oil solidifies when chilled, let the salad stand at
room temperature for 30 minutes. Grind pepper over salad and toss
lightly.
