Fresh basil, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella |
But did you know that basil has antibiotic qualities as well? It has a variety of oils and flavonoids that protect the body from a variety of illnesses.
Basil is awesome for overall oral health care. It has antiseptic and antibacterial properties, and has been used in Ayurveda for centuries for whiter teeth! So when I saw that the basil my sister-in-law had gotten me for my birthday was ready for pinching, I set off to improve the oral care of everyone in our household, as well as have a fresh, light dish for everyone.
Then I chopped up the basil fairly thin, but you can do whatever you like - lay them as leaves or sprinkle them. Slice the fresh mozzarella (I firmed it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to make it easier to slice), arrange on top of the tomatoes, sprinkle the chopped basil, and you're ready for the balsamic vinaigrette.
