  1. Slice and alternate

    Slice the 2 large ripe tomatoes and 125g of fresh mozzarella into thick rounds. Alternate them on a plate, tucking fresh basil leaves between them.

  2. Dress

    Drizzle generously with 2 tablespoons of excellent olive oil. Season aggressively with flaky sea salt and black pepper. Add a balsamic reduction if you like.

Slop Notes

This is either transcendent or boring depending entirely on ingredient quality. Buy the best tomatoes you can find.
