1
Slice the Tomatoes
Wash the ripe tomatoes thoroughly. Cut each tomato into even slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
2
Prepare the Mozzarella
Drain the fresh mozzarella from its packaging. Pat it dry with a paper towel and slice it into rounds, similar in thickness to the tomato slices. Place the mozzarella slices on the platter alongside the tomatoes.
3
Add Basil
Wash the fresh basil leaves and gently pat them dry. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces (if desired) and scatter them over the mozzarella and tomato slices.
4
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Using a spoon or a small bowl, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the arranged tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.
5
Season
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the salad to taste. Adjust the seasoning based on your preference.
6
Serve
Serve immediately as a fresh salad or appetizer, enjoying the vibrant flavors of the ingredients.
