Servings: 6 people as a side salad 1 1/2 lbs Ripe tomatoes, (3-4 medium) sliced 1/4” thick 12-16 oz Fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/4” thick 1 bunch Fresh basil, (1/3 cup basil leaves) 3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling 1/2 tsp Sea salt, or to taste 1/4 tsp Black pepper, or to taste 2 Tbsp Balsamic glaze, or added to taste (optional)
Start by layering slices of tomatoes on a serving platter.
Tuck slices of cheese between each tomato so both are visible then tuck whole
basil leaves between the cheese and tomatoes. Arrange the slices so you can see every layer.
Season generously with salt and pepper, drizzle all over with extra virgin
olive oil and drizzle with 2 Tbsp balsamic glaze or add it to taste.
