Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe tomatoes sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into even rounds.
  2. Arrange them alternating on a platter, tucking basil leaves between.

  5. Season with salt and pepper just before serving.

Notes

Room-temperature mozzarella tastes far creamier than cold.
