Summer salads are the best. Fresh produce picked in your own garden adds scrumptious taste to any salad, including this one which uses tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs that you can grow yourself.

Ingredients

10 cherry tomatoes

small cucumber

½ to ¾ cup chunks of mozzarella cheese

extra virgin olive oil

mint

basil

1. Rinse the produce and they fresh herbs. Pat dry with a dish towel.

2. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place in a bowl.

3. Chop the cucumber into bite size pieces, disposing of the ends.

4. Add cheese chunks and mix with the produce.

5. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the salad, and sprinkle with diced mint and basil to taste. Mix and serve.

 Tips

• Mozzarella is not exactly a hard cheese, but can still be found in block form. Simply cut into bite size pieces.

• If block cheese is not available, it is okay to use shredded.

 Serving Suggestions

• Serve with sandwiches.

• This dish goes well with a meal of meat and potatoes.
