You do need to use ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and outdoor-grown basil to achieve the full glory of this dish.
Ingredients
1 bunch | Basil leaves |
2 | Large ripe tomatoes |
1 | Mozzarella cheese |
1 to taste | Sea salt |
1 to drizzle | Olive oil |
1 to taste | Cracked black pepper |
Directions
- Pick the basil leaves off the stalk, rip any very large leaves into pieces and make a bed of basil in the bottom of your bowl.
- Slice the tomatoes crosswise and layer across the basil leaves.
- Drain the fresh mozzarella ball and break up into shreds, scattering across the tomato layer.
- Before serving splash olive oil across the salad and season with cracked pepper and sea salt.
