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.
