Tomato, Mozzarella and Onion Salad
Directions
In a mixing Bowl add the tomatoes and mozzarella pieces and mix together.
Next add the oregano, sugar, onion powder, fresh basil and chopped onion.
Pour the olive oil into the mixture and stir together. Add the salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar and mix it to incorporate into the tomato and mozzarella salad.
You can serve it right away but it tastes better if you can let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes and then serve it slightly chilled.
