Mozzerella Salad

Face it, everyone loves anything that involves cheese, or at least Mozzerella! While working at my job in a country club, I learned this very simple salad that's great for parties and so simple to make. All you need is:

Tiny Mozerrella balls (or any type as long as it's cut up into small pieces)
cherry tomatoes
green olives
red onion.
salt&pepper
olive oil
dried or fresh oregano

The whole procedure should take from five to ten minutes. just throw the mozerella in a bowl with the tomatoes cut in half, thinly slice the olives and throw those in, and for the onion, also cut it into thin strips. If you don't know how just follow the instructions. To cut the onions, all you have you do is cut it in half then lay then face down with the round edge facing up and then cut very thinly and you should get strips. Once all that is in the bowl, throw in a little bit of olive oil, unless you like more. and then season it lightly with salt and pepper and put in a lot of the oregano, which gives the salad an amazing flavor. Switch the bowl over and it's ready to serve!

***TIP: This salad can be done in a variety of ways. You can add different ingredients such as cucumber or peppers. For the seasoning, you don't have to do oregano, you can add other fresh herbs such as basil or thyme. It's all up to you! Make it your own!! :D
