Celebrating the flavors of Summer Salads with the Red, White and Blue!

A great addition to your Fourth of July celebrations is The  Tomato Mozzarella Salad – one of my all-time favs, it is easy to prepare, and I have not met anyone who does not enjoy this salad.  Are you ‘dipper?’  Buy or make a crusty loaf of Italian bread, and soak up the wonderfully-flavored balsamic vinaigrette.  The key to the success of this salad is ‘FRESH!’  Prepare using FRESH ingredients… FRESH ruby-ripe tomatoes from the garden, FRESH mozzarella, FRESH basil, and FRESH bread.  Is your mouth watering yet??

Tomato Mozzarella Salad

Fresh garden tomatoes, washed, cored, and cut ( I personally prefer my tomatoes seeded and skinned )

Fresh Mozzarella balls, sliced or cubed

Fresh Basil, chopped (green or purple)  *Note:  Purple is pleasing to the eye for a Red, White and Blue theme

Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing (page 31 – “MaMa Mia Cucina ~ A Flavor of Good Food and Good Family”

  

Balsamic Salad Dressing

(Condimento Balsamico) 

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

3 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 

Combine ingredients and blend well.  

For your favorite salads.  Enjoy!

*Note:  Prepare salad and serve at room temperature for the best flavor.

 

~ A note of thanks as Americans enjoy a summertime weekend in celebration and connecting with those that we love. 

Let us remember those that defended, and continue defending our freedoms. 

I wish one and all …freedoms of ~ Life ~ Liberty ~ and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Buon Appetito and Happy 4th of July !

~ Cynthia

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
