How to make it

STEP 01:

Make tomato salad dressing: In a mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, parsley, basil, oregano and season with salt and pepper to taste.

STEP 02:

Toss tomatoes and mozzarella with dressing: In a medium salad bowl toss together tomatoes with dressing. Add mozzarella and toss.

TIPS:

Don’t let it sit too long (a few hours is fine) or it the dressing just gets watered down as the salt draws the moisture from the tomatoes.
Use best quality tomatoes for optimal flavor. If you happen to get tomatoes that are on the tart side add a little extra honey.
Make sure tomatoes are nicely ripe.
Careful not to overdue it on the salt (as always) you can always add later on but can’t remove excess.
To allow flavors to infuse further let marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, tossing once halfway through.
