- 5 to 6 large red and/or yellow tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into thirds
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (optional)
- 8 ounces mozzarella or provolone cheese, cubed

Directions
1. In a large glass bowl, combine tomato wedges, olive oil, and basil. Add vinegar, if you like. Toss mixture to combine. Add mozzarella or provolone cheese. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
