My take on the traditional Comprese Salad
 
I don't really care for Basil, fresh or otherwise. For whatever reason it all tastes rather "metalic" to me. I guess my taste receptors got screwed up somewhere along the line of some 40+ years of one substance abuse or another.
 
No matter...
 
These days I lay down a bed of Romaine hearts, add 3 or 4 sliced Campari tomatoes, a few generous slices of fresh Mozzarella secured from the local Italian grocer and top it all with Kosher salt, corse ground black pepper and very VERY good XVOO.
 
Combine with a few of slices of a decent locally baked French bread and a glass or two or seven of cheap red wine and I've got a meal that fills my tummy an lulls me to sleep.
 
Who can ask for anything more?
 
Here's what it looks right before I shove it in my pie-hole less the bread and the wine.
