½ pounds Mozzarella cheese, part skim

2 tablespoons Wine vinegar
¼ cup Fresh basil leaves --
Chopped
Black pepper

Slice the tomatoes and cheese into thick slices. Slice the Vidalia onion into thin slices; chill for best flavor. If Vidalias are not available substitute Walla Walla, Maui Sweet or Texas 1015. On salad plates, arrange the tomatoes, onion and cheese in overlapping design.

In a large measuring cup combine the oil, vinegar, garlic and black pepper. Use a whisk to blend well. While still stirring, pour over the vegetables. Garnish with chopped basil. Serve immediately.
