Basil, Tomato And Onion Salad With Cheese Recipe - Cooking Index
Tomatoes and fresh basil simply belong together. What a marriage! This is one of my favorite summer salads, especially if you can bring the tomatoes in from your garden while they are still warm from the sun. Keep this recipe tucked away until next summer.
