Try it without balsamic, which is a North American addition. If your oil is
good, the flavors are perfect without it. It's one of those "sum is greater
than its parts" things. Each of those delicate flavors is exalted.

I don't know how much cheese you get for that 5 bucks, but that's less than
3 euro right now. If you can make salad for 2 from that it doesn't sound
like a lot to me. You'd pay 5 euro for the salad in antipasto size at a
cafe, more for a meal size or in a better restaurant.

I bought cow's milk mozzarella yesterday on sale for a little over 10 euro
per kilo. Add 35%+ to reach dollars.
