Ingredients
3 vine-ripe tomatoes, 1/4-inch thick slices
1 pound fresh mozzarella, 1/4-inch thick slices
20 or so leaves (about 1 bunch) fresh basil
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
salt and pepper
Directions
Layer alternating slices of tomatoes and mozzarella, adding a basil leaf between each on plates or a large, shallow platter. Drizzle the salad with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
*If you don’t have enough basil for layering, you can slice it into strips and sprinkle over the top. We also like to drizzle the salad with balsamic vinegar.
