I sometimes add fresh mushrooms to this salad for parties. I also add about 1.5 teaspoons of sugar. My latest 'find' is WHITE BALSAMIC vinegar. Costs about the same as regular and it makes the tomatoes and mozz look SO fresh. Doesn't turn the mozz brown from the vinegar.

This is SO good! But I use a little less Balsamic, and a bit of red wine vinegar. Its so refreshing! BUT- I wont make during the winter with store-bought tomatoes-no way!!
