Ingredients

Fresh mozzarella cheese (very soft; sometimes packed in water), sliced about 3/16 - 1/4 inch thick

Fresh roma tomatoes, sliced as above

Fresh basil

Fresh cracked black pepper

sea salt

Extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

*This recipe can make however much you'd like. Plan on about two slices cheese/tomato for a side dish/appetizer or 3 - 4 slices for a light lunch.

--------------------

On a serving platter, layer one slice tomato, followed by two basil leaves, then one slice mozzarella. Repeat layers as many times as you need.

Add a couple grinds of black pepper over the top of the salad, follow with a light sprinkling of sea salt. Drizzle a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil over all. Serve immediately.
