It is the only thing.

Rita Whiteford
  • 14 Rome tomatoes, diced
  • 1 pkg. fresh sweet Basil, minced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
  • white pepper (season to taste)
  • salt (season to taste)
  • 1 pkg. La Vosh Rounds (crackers)
  • 1 pkg. Mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced


Mix the first 7 ingredients and marinate overnight (turn several times to distribute the flavors evenly). Serve as a salad by itself; or, with the sliced Mozzarella cheese and La Vosh Rounds as an hors d’oeuvre.
