Ingredients
- 4 tomatoes - red and ripe
- 4 mozzarella - about 500 g/1.1 pound of fresh and high quality Buffalo Mozzarella or Fior di latte
- 10 basil leaves fresh
- 4 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- salt a pinch
- black pepper ground, optional
- balsamic vinegar a few drops, optional
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes and slice them paying attention to make regular slices of about 1 cm (half inch). Salt them lightly then let the tomato slices loose their water for two minutes on a cutting board.
- Remove mozzarella from its water and let it drain well. Slice the mozzarella into fairly regular slices of about 1 cm (half inch). You can leave it in a colander for two or three minutes to better drain the water. Now wash the basil leaves and pat them dry with a little kitchen paper.
- Now arrange these three precious ingredients - tomato, mozzaralla and basil - in a serving dish in the way you like best. For example, alternate a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf. Finally add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and serve.
