Ingredients

8oz fresh mozzarella (preferably buffalo mozzarella)

1-2oz fresh basil leaves, sliced into julienne

3 medium ripe tomatoes

Freshly ground pepper

Sprig of basil (for garnish)

High-quality extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

Directions

Slice the tomatoes into ¼" slices, discarding the two ends. Slice the cheese into ¼" slices as well, quartering each slice if they are significantly larger in diameter than the tomatoes. Continue until you have an equal number of tomato and mozzarella slices and arrange on a plate, alternating the two.

Sprinkle with julienned basil.

Drizzle with olive oil and fresh pepper and garnish with the basil sprig.
