This is one of the best (most successful) recipes I've tried in a while.
So easy, so tasty.
If you like any kind of caprese salad, you'll love this.

Makes about 4 servings - I doubled it because I had two growing, hungry guests (missionaries) and we didn't even put a dent in it and we'd all helped ourselves to two or more servings.
1 can large black olives, cut in half (6 oz.)
3 c. cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
1 c. fresh mozzarella pearls, cut in half (from Costco - they come marinated which is fine; or cut regular sized into pieces)
1/2 c. vinaigrette dressing (I used Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar)
1/2 c. chopped or torn fresh basil leaves
salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Drain olives and fresh mozzarella pearls while you cut tomatoes in half; place tomatoes in bowl. Cut olives and mozzarella pearls in half and put in bowl with tomatoes.
Wash basil dry completely. Then chop or tear into small pieces. Mix into vinaigrette dressing, then gently combine dressing with tomato mixture. Season to taste with fresh ground black pepper and serve immediately.
This is a must make for me. Would kalamata olives be too tart for this?
