Tomato and mozzarella salad

A very easy salad that, if made with a good presentation, can win a lot: tomato salad with mozzarella. Being such a simple salad it is very important that the ingredients are of good quality, especially the tomato. For me the best are the «pink type» tomatoes, but any other that you like and that is sweet and at its exact point of maturity would be worth it.

We will also use sweet chives, and to make it less powerful, we will soak it in very cold water with salt so that the itching is softened and it remains firm and smooth.

We have also used garlic chips or sheets of dried garlic to give it a crunchy touch. They are totally expendable.
