Now that a little warm weather is finally here and folks are getting ready to get out of their cold-winter slumber and hang out with friends and family in their backyards! It is time for fresh produce, crisp simple foods- high in taste and nutrition, that don't need one to fuss over half a day to get ready. Here is one such perfect recipe. Beautiful to the eyes and your taste-buds will love it!
Making this is simple. Cut tomatoes into thick wedge-chunks. Sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper and sea salt (to taste). Also sprinkle some chives and you are ready for the next layer.

Cut up some fresh mozzarella and spicy cheddar cheese. Here I have used Moroccan Spicy Cheese- which is made by mixing Harissa sauce with cheddar cheese. Spicy cheese mellows the spicy-kick and also allows for the taste to blend well with the tomatoes, instead of simply providing a capsaicin- kick. Put some cheese on the cut tomatoes and bake at 350 C for around 5 to 7 mins or till cheese has well-melted.
Lay them on your serving plate and garnish well with chopped cilantro. Cilantro is a very cooling herb and helps our bodies to cool down in hot summers. Now you know why Mexicans, Indian and several other countries in the hot regions use this herb quite generously in their foods! In addition, cilantro has many health benefits- Cilantro has lots of antioxidants, essential oils, vitamins, and dietary fiber, which help reduce LDL or "bad cholesterol" while rising HDL or "good cholesterol" levels. Cilantro is also rich in many vital vitamins, including folic-acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin-A, beta carotene, vitamin-C, which are essential for optimum health.
That's it- your wonderful, appealing and tasty appetizer- salad is ready. Enjoy :)
