Let's make it.
4 stepsSlice the tomatoes
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut into slices about 5 mm thick and spread them on a serving plate.
Drain the mozzarella
Drain the mozzarella well, pat lightly with a clean towel and slice to roughly the same thickness as the tomatoes.
Build the salad
Alternate the tomato and mozzarella slices. Tuck the basil leaves between them, tearing any particularly large leaves.
Dress and serve
Drizzle with the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately so the basil stays fresh and the tomatoes keep their texture.
Ingredient Notes
Use mozzarella labeled suitable for vegetarians; animal rennet is not suitable.
Cooking Tips
Choose ripe tomatoes and drain the cheese well; the salad needs no elaborate dressing.
