Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    Start by washing the fresh tomatoes and basil leaves under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the tomatoes

    Cut the fresh tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange them on a serving platter.

  3. 3

    Slice the mozzarella

    Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices and layer them alternately with the tomato slices on the serving platter.

  4. 4

    Add basil

    Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces (if desired) and scatter them over the layered tomatoes and mozzarella.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with olive oil

    Sprinkle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the entire platter, ensuring each slice of tomato and mozzarella gets a touch of oil.

  6. 6

    Season

    Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste over the salad for added flavor.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
