Ingredients
- 2 Mozzarella Fior di Latte Spiga Gourmet 125 g
- 3 Ripe tomatoes
- Fresh basil
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
Method
- 01
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into slices (or in half if using cherry tomatoes).
- 02
Drain the mozzarella and cut it into thick slices.
- 03
Arrange alternating slices of tomato and mozzarella on a plate, finishing with fresh basil leaves.
- 04
Dress with olive oil, salt and pepper just before serving.
- 05
Optional: a swirl of balsamic glaze for a smarter finish.
Take it out of the fridge a while before: cold mozzarella tastes half as good. And salt the tomato, not the mozzarella, which already has its own.
The basil goes on whole and at the end. Chop it or add it early and it oxidises and loses its aroma.
