My Simple Dinner: Tomato and Mozzarella Salad w/Steamed Veggies

Sometimes it's the simplest of dinners which can give you great flavor and satisfaction! The other night I had a bowl of steamed veggies drizzled with good balsamic vinegar with some freshly cracked black pepper and salt. I also had a side of thinly sliced mozzarella and tomatoes, again drizzled in balsamic vinegar with a touch of extra virgin olive oil.





Now, the steam veggies with vinegar were no more than 40 calories. The mozzarella that I bought had 16 servings in it, each serving 80 calories. I cut the mozzarella in fourths. I took one fourth and sliced that up in fourths. I had three of the tomato and mozzarella slices. This very simple, filling meal was about 400 calories. Not bad and very delicious and simple!

I bought a 160z. log of Bel Gioioso Fresh Mozzarella. There are 16 servings in this log, so 1 ounce a serving. I opened the package, and cut the log in half, then I cut the halfs in half. So the log was in quarters, I then cut each quarter in half. The log is now in eights, lastly, I cut each eigth in half, and had 16 equal portions/slices at the end...got it?
