Mixed tomato and mozzarella salad

Babiche Martens

I bought a large variety of tomatoes at the La Cigale market (in Parnell, Auckland). They simply need tossing in a large bowl with a few other ingredients to make this light and tasty salad. My super-sprouts came with edible flowers through the mix, but they can be sourced separately. Everything in this salad was found at the market.

For the salad

400 g	Tomatoes, mixed varieties e.g. black, cherry, yellow (Main)
½ cup	Black olives
½ cup	Sprouts
100 g	Mozzarella cheese, torn
¼ cup	Edible flowers
1 to taste	Sea salt and cracked black pepper

For the dressing

2 Tbsp	Olive oil
1 tsp	White vinegar
1 tsp	Honey

Directions

1. Place the tomatoes in a large bowl, cutting in halves or quarters if they are large. Add olives and sprouts.
2. Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and toss through salad. Place on a platter.
3. Add mozzarella and sprinkle edible flowers over. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
