Today is Wednesday, time for me to be unplugged and resting from the business of real estate again as I do each week. I hope you are enjoying what is to be a beautifully refreshing day.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop." ~ Ovid
I first tasted fresh Mozzarella years ago in Italy. At that time it wasn’t readily available here, and when I got home I sought out a small Italian market where I was able to find some. It was a delectable treat, seemingly even more enjoyable because of the pains I had to take to find it. Now it is readily available in our nearby grocery…and I still find it to be a special treat…especially paired with locally grown, richly flavorful tomatoes.
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
TOMATO MOZZARELLA SALAD
recipe from Country Woman at TasteOfHome.com
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
2/3 cup olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups cubed fresh mozzarella (8 oz)
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk in oil until blended. Add remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, sitrring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon to a serving dish.
