  1. Slice the tomato and mozzarella into rounds, thick enough to hold together, but thin enough that they’re not unwieldy.
  2. On a plate or serving platter, alternate layers of tomatoes and cheese, placing a basil leaf between.
  3. Drizzle the whole salad with a little oil and dust with some salt and ground black pepper.
  4. Serve as a starter with some good Italian bread.
