INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
1 medium Fresh Tomato
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
A handful of Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tablespoon Homemade Basil Pesto
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into rounds and cut the tomato into similarly sized slices.
Place the mozzarella and tomato slices on a serving plate, alternating them for an attractive presentation.
Scatter the shelled edamame evenly over the arranged slices.
Top the salad with a generous handful of fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the homemade basil pesto over the salad. For the pesto, blend fresh basil leaves, a small garlic clove, a squeeze of lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth prior to drizzling.
Season lightly with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
