Tomato and Mozzarella Salad

The roasted tomatoes in this salad create their own sauce when they burst in the oven. Mixed with sweet olive oil and pungent basil, the tomatoes are an excellent way to add flavor, not calories and sodium, to your salad.

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes

1 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper

2-3 tbsp basil, chiffonade

2-3 oz mozzarella cheese, cubed

2 cups fresh spinach

Turn on broiler to high. In a baking dish, toss tomatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper, then place under broiler. Broil for 10-15 minutes, then add basil and let cool for 2 minutes. Toss tomatoes with mozzarella cheese and pour over spinach.
