Insalata Caprese I

By: katquilter 
"This tastes like the salad that is served at a famous Italian restaurant chain in my area. It's perfect with fresh loaf of crusty bread. For the best flavor be sure to use fresh whole-milk mozzarella it puts the packaged varieties to shame. You can find fresh mozzarella in Italian delis, gourmet markets, cheese shops and some grocery stores."

Use fresh ingredients...especially the mozzerella, and seed the tomatoes so it's not a wet mess.
