Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Salad

Fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella tossed in a simple dressing of light olive oil, red wine vinegar, pressed garlic and a few cracks of pepper.  This tomato and mozzarella salad is delicious.   It can be served as an appetizer, a side or I like to pile it on top of some grilled chicken or even some pasta.   The creamy mozzarella blends perfectly with the tomatoes and light garlic dressing.
