Keeping things simple and easy, while still managing a wow factor? In our book that makes life sweet.

Check out this one-minute video that will show you how to create a gorgeous mozzarella, heirloom tomato, basil and bread salad. It’s super fast and easy, and looks and tastes amazing.

The recipe is courtesy of Danny Bortnick, former executive chef at Firefly in Washington, D.C. Danny is now our Senior Director of Restaurant Concepts & Development, which is a fancy way of saying this guy really knows his way around a kitchen. Take a look.

Fun fact: Although the tomato is a fruit, in 1893 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Nix v. Hedden that it’s a vegetable.
