Preparation

ANTIPASTI

1. Prepare ingredients

Rinse fresh basil. Slice ripe tomatoes into rounds about 1/4 inch thick and slice mozzarella cheese into rounds of a similar thickness.

2. Assemble

On a large platter, alternate tomato slices and mozzarella slices. Tuck whole basil leaves between layers or place them between stacks for a vibrant presentation.

3. Season

Lightly sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

4. Dress

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil evenly over the arranged slices. If using balsamic glaze, drizzle a thin line over the top for sweetness and acidity balance.

5. Rest and serve

Let stand 10 minutes at room temperature to bloom flavors. Serve immediately, with crusty bread or as a light salad.
