Ingredients
  • 2-3 medium/small sized Heirloom or homegrown tomatoes, varying colors
  • 2 ovolini, or other fresh Mozzarella cheese
  • 10 fresh basil leaves
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Extra Virgin olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Remove top of tomato, and any core at the bottom of tomato. Slice them into discs and divide evenly among two plates, making sure to evenly distribute the various colors. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt.

Slice Mozzarella into discs, similar in thickness to the tomatoes. Try to cut as many slices of the cheese to cover each one of the tomato slices.

Chop the basil in a chiffonade, and sprinkle over the stacked slices. You can also tear the basil leaves into larger pieces if you prefer that.

Sprinkle salads with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar to taste. Season with fresh ground black pepper.
