Cheese and Tomato Salad is a simple yet flavorful dish with roots in Mediterranean cuisine, often associated with Italian gastronomy. Typically, it combines ripe, juicy tomatoes with fresh mozzarella or another soft cheese, topped with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Some variations may include balsamic vinegar or additional greens like arugula. This salad is rich in nutrients; tomatoes provide vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene, while cheese offers protein and calcium. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, making it a balanced addition. However, as cheese can be high in saturated fat and sodium, moderation is key for those mindful of these intakes. Perfect as a refreshing side dish or light appetizer, Cheese and Tomato Salad showcases wholesome ingredients in a simple, nutritious presentation.
