Instructions
- Use a sharp knife to cut the tomatoes into slices that are ¼-inch in thickness.
- Arrange the slices of tomato on a cutting board or plate and then sprinkle them with salt.
- Cut the fresh mozzarella into slices that are ¼-inch in thickness. Then dab all the slices with a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess water.
- Arrange a few of the basil leaves on the bottom of your serving dish.
- Assemble the salad on top of the basil leaves by alternating layers of sliced tomato and mozzarella topping every few pieces with some fresh basil leaves.
- Sprinkle the salad with a pinch of dried oregano and fresh ground black pepper. Then drizzle it with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and add a few more basil leaves.
- Serve immediately to enjoy!
Notes
- This is all, nothing else, no pesto, no beetroot, no rocket and certainly no vinegar or any other odd things.
