Tomato and Fresh Cheese Salad (Gluten-Free)
Fresh mozzarella and ripe tomatoes are layered with basil, extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple Italian salad. The dish relies on tomato juice and quality oil rather than filler, finished with flaky salt and black pepper for a bright, herbaceous plate.

Instructions

Prep
Slice the mozzarella and tomato into rounds of similar thickness. Arrange overlapping slices on a plate, tucking fresh basil leaves between them.
2
Finish
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. Grind black pepper across the top.
3
Plate
Let the salad sit at room temperature 5 minutes so tomato juices mingle with the oil, then serve while the cheese is cool and basil is fresh.
