Fresh Mozzarella Grape Tomato Salad

When the garden explodes with fresh
ripe grape tomatoes I make this salad.
It's got fresh mozzarella cheese and
colorful grape tomatoes in it.
You can also use cherry tomatoes.
Make sure the tomatoes are garden fresh.
Add three basil leaves on top as garnish.
Great with red wine and crusty Italian bread.
