Step 2: Assemble the Salad : On a serving platter, alternate slices of tomato and mozzarella. Tuck fresh basil leaves between the slices for flavor and visual appeal.
Step 3: Dress the Salad : Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the arranged salad. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Optionally, drizzle balsamic glaze for added sweetness and tang.
