- On a large, chilled platter, arrange tomato slices and fresh mozzarella. Top with fresh-sliced basil. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.
- Leftover dressing to the rescue: Any remaining dressing may be served with a fresh salad or used as a dip for crusty bread or vegetables. Brush some on poultry or seafood before grilling.
- Quick tip: If you are pressed for time, simply arrange tomatoes and mozzarella on well-chilled platter. Drizzle with a 2:1 ratio of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt, pepper and fresh basil.
