How to Make Bocconcini And Tomato Salad

  1. **Prepare the Tomato Dressing:** Roughly chop 1 pound of ripe tomatoes. Place them in a blender or food processor with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Blend until you reach your desired consistency – slightly chunky is nice!
  2. **Assemble the Salad:** Arrange 8 ounces of fresh bocconcini cheese and 1 cup of sliced tomatoes in alternating layers on four small plates.
  3. **Dress and Serve:** Drizzle the prepared tomato dressing evenly over the salad. Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional) and serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.
