Accordion Tomatoes
To establish good eating habits I think that children should eat the same food as grown ups. When I cook with my children I like to introduce them to new flavors - they are more likely to eat them if they are involved in the cooking process and, of course, I also make them aware of the seasons and the importance of organics.
When preparing the tomato mozzarella, the trick is not to cut the tomatoes
all the way through - kids love fresh mozzarella.
Place each tomato with the stem side down and make six slices to within 1/2 inch
from the base, taking care not to cut all the way through.
Cut the fresh mozzarella into 12 thin slices.
Chop the black olives into small dice.
Place a piece of mozzarella in between each tomato slice.
In a bowl, combine the vinegar and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle over the tomatoes and sprinkle with chopped olives.
Serve on some lettuce leaves or arugula.
