The quintessential dish of summer!
Ingredients
  • 4-8 heirloom tomatoes (depending on size)
  • 1 fresh mozzarella ball, brought to room temperature
  • Balsamic vinegar (good-quality)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil (good-quality)
  • 4-6 basil leaves, cut chiffonade-style
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
  1. Wash and cut the tomatoes into thin slices. Arrange the tomatoes on a decorative serving platter. Slice the mozzarella ball into 6-8 large slices or into many small pieces depending on your preference. Drizzle on the balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil (I generally prefer a 1:2 ratio of vinegar to olive oil.) Sprinkle cut basil leaves on top and season with salt and pepper.
