Miss Pollyâ Fresh Ciliengini & Cherry Tomato Salad
This salad evolved the moment I saw a product I had never seen-Precious Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Ciliengini in water. I found it at Jonâs Marketplace here in CA where all great International ingredients can be found for usually half the price anywhere else. I took an 8 ounce container of the fresh mozzarella then combined it with mixed them with a small bag of NatureSweet Vine-Ripened Cherry Tomatoes in a medium size bowl.
For the marinade I mixed 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil with 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2 teaspoons Toneâs Rosemary Garlic Seasoning. You can add more or less of the seasoning or what I would have added if I had it was fresh julienne cut basil. I also added about a teaspoon of minced fresh garlic as well. (I donât drive for medical reasons so I have to plan in advance to go most anywhere which takes some ingenuity and planning. I was almost killed in a car accident many but God had plans for me that I am now carrying out now.)
I had too many books to write and great things I wanted to accomplish. The food writing and cooking is something I have loved since I was a child at age 9 with my first cook book âThe Betty Crocker Boyâs & Girlâs Cook Bookâ that was given to me by my cousin Patricia. Thanks for opening up a whole world that now spans about 1000 volumes and many dinner parties later. I was always around someone who gave joy to others with either homemade custards in a Baine Marie from my Nanny or Cream Puffs or the passed down recipes of my grandfather Alberto-to my dad Ernest Carl, who then showed me how to make his lasagna.
I hope you enjoy this and I am sure you will find other seasonings and variations to this simple but elegant spin-off of the classic Capers Salad.
