A delicious way to serve tomatoes and mozzarella

First slice the mozzarella, then cut it into small cubes. Mix with salt, a little grated zest, and the juice of the lime, along with white wine vinegar and pepper. Add the chopped capers, peppercorns, or gherkins and the spring onions and mix well. Let them marinate for a while. Cut a lid off the tops of the tomatoes, hollow them out, lightly salt the insides, and let them drain upside down on kitchen paper. Press the tomato core through a small sieve and whisk the puree with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until creamy. Fill the tomatoes with the tartar, place them on plates, and pour the salad dressing over them. Garnish with basil and serve with baguette, if desired. Tip: A refreshing variation is the marinated tartar sprinkled with basil in a cold tomato soup.
