Let's make something good
How to make it
4 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Slice the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella
Slice the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into approximately 1/4-inch rounds.
Alternate the tomato slices, mozzarella slices, and fresh basil leaves
On a large platter, alternate the tomato slices, mozzarella slices, and fresh basil leaves, overlapping them slightly to create a beautiful pattern.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze (if using) over the top of the assembled salad.
Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper just before serving to maintain the integrity of the tomatoes.
A little kitchen wisdom
Always use the freshest ingredients possible. Buffalo mozzarella (Mozzarella di Bufala) provides a richer flavor than cow's milk mozzarella. If you can find flaky sea salt (like Maldon), it adds a lovely texture.
