Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) ripe heirloom or vine tomatoes
  • 16 oz (450g) fresh mozzarella
  • 1 bunch (30g) fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp (6g) flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into 1/4 inch (0.6cm) thick rounds. Pat the mozzarella slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. On a large platter, arrange the slices in an alternating pattern of tomato, mozzarella, and a basil leaf, slightly overlapping them.
  3. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad, followed by the balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern.
  4. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the arrangement just before serving.
