This salad takes its inspiration from the Margherita pizza.
I had Margherita pizza on a trip to Rome
a few years ago. It is a really simple pizza, just a crust, tomato sauce and
fresh sliced mozzarella cheese. I got my
first tomatoes out of my garden, and I have pots of fresh basil just begging to
be used.

I’ve put my herbs in
pots this year so I can take them indoors to my sunroom when the weather turns
cold. Then I’ll have fresh herbs for cooking all winter.
