2 large, fresh tomatoes (Beefsteak, Big Boy or other large varieties are particularly good in this salad)
1 8-ounce ball of fresh buffalo mozzarella
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4cupjulienned fresh basil
Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
Slice each tomato into slices about ½ an inch thick.
Slice the mozzarella ball into ¼ to ½ inch slices.
On a platter or plate, alternately lay the tomato slices and mozzarella slices – you can lay them in a line on a long platter, or in a circular pattern on a smaller plate.
Season with salt and black pepper. Then, sprinkle the julienned basil over the slices.
Just before serving, drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil.
