Notes
- Tomatoes: You can use either a combination of ripe tomatoes, such as beefsteak tomatoes, regular tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, etc., or only one sort of tomato. Just make sure that they are perfectly ripe and sweet.
Mozzarella: You can substitute regular mozzarella with buffalo mozzarella or, for an even more delicious option, burrata.
