Let’s whip up something fresh and easy! Grab your tomatoes—if they’re big, slice ‘em into thick rounds; if they’re cherry, just halve ‘em. Either way, they’re the star of the show!
Slice the mozzarella into rounds about the same thickness as the tomatoes. It’s so soft and creamy—don’t you just love that first cut?
Pick those basil leaves—give ‘em a gentle rinse if they’re dusty. You can leave ‘em whole or tear ‘em a little for that rustic vibe. Smells like summer, doesn’t it?
Time to assemble! On a big platter, layer the tomato slices and mozzarella—alternate ‘em so it looks all pretty. Tuck the basil leaves in between or scatter ‘em on top—whatever feels right!
Drizzle the olive oil over everything—let it glisten! Then splash on the balsamic vinegar—it’s like a little sweet-tart hug for the whole dish.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper—just enough to wake up the flavors. If you’ve got flaky sea salt, a tiny pinch makes it feel extra special.
That’s it—serve it up fresh! Pair it with some crusty bread to soak up the juices, or just grab a fork and dive in. It’s light, it’s bright, it’s everything good—enjoy every bite!
