Ripe tomatoes. Fresh mozzarella. Really good olive oil. Zero cooking, maximum impressiveness. This is what summer tastes like.
Slice the Large ripe vine or heirloom tomatoes into rounds about 1 cm thick.
Tear or slice the Fresh buffalo mozzarella to roughly the same thickness.
Arrange them on a flat plate in alternating slices, overlapping slightly. Tuck Fresh basil leaves in between the slices as you go.
Drizzle very generously with Extra virgin olive oil — this is not the moment for caution.
Season with Flaky sea salt and Freshly ground black pepper.
Leave to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Cold mozzarella straight from the fridge has no flavour — never skip this rest.
