Snack-urday 103

Ready for another great treat -- it is Saturday after all.

Tomato and Mozzarella Salad (think summer, sitting in the sun, and enjoying all the fresh produce of the season)

4 large ripe, fragrant tomatoes (sliced 1/4" thick)
1 lb fresh mozzarella (sliced 1/4" thick also)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Arrange the tomato slices on a large platter, alternating each slice with a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf. Overlap the layers. Sprinkle the salad with oregano and then drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with warm, crusty French bread and a red wine.

Oh my, is my mouth ever watering.
