Directions

1. Chill the tomatoes,, depending on the strength of your fridge you may want to put them in the freezer for a bit. They just need to be cold and obviously not frozen
2. Cut Mozzarella and ham into cubes with the ham cubes being smaller than the Mozzarella cubes. - This is to prevent the ham flavor from being too aggressive. Strips of Ham lunchmeat work very well for this.
3. Place Tomatoes, Ham, and Mozzarella into large salad bowl and tear basil leaves into bowl discarding stems. Add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and jime juice to taste. I prefer a larger ratio of vinegar to oil and heavy pepper.
4. Variations - Lime Basil
