Preparation
- Step 1
Core the tomatoes, and cut them into eighths. Salt them lightly, and let sit while you make the tapenade.
- Step 2
Combine the olives, anchovies or capers, vinegar, oil and 1 tablespoon water in a blender or small food processor. Blend until pureed, but not too fine. Add more water if necessary; the mixture should be fairly loose. Taste the puree, and add salt and pepper as you like.
- Step 3
Cut the mozzarella into chunks, and toss with the tomatoes and about half the tapenade; season with salt and pepper if necessary, and add more tapenade to taste. Garnish with basil, and serve immediately.

I had cherry tomatoes and sliced them in 1/2 or quarters, depending on their size. This was a really nice combination of flavors. I think that the tapenade would be good on pasta too, maybe with a few roasted tomatoes thrown on the pasta too.
