Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Slice the Mozzarella

    Begin by slicing the fresh mozzarella cheese into thick slices, approximately 1/2 inch in thickness. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the ripe tomatoes and slice them into similar thickness as the mozzarella. Place the tomato slices next to the mozzarella on the platter.

  3. 3

    Add Fresh Basil

    Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces, if desired, and distribute them evenly over the mozzarella and tomato slices for added flavor and freshness.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mozzarella and tomatoes, ensuring an even coating for enhanced taste.

  5. 5

    Add Balsamic Vinegar

    Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar over the ingredients to add a tangy sweetness that complements the dish.

  6. 6

    Season with Salt and Pepper

    Finally, sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the dish. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.
