Because this salad is so simple, fresh, top quality ingredients are important. Please use home grown tomatoes. If you are not growing your own, go to a local farmers market. Heirloom tomatoes are more expensive, but definitely worthwhile. Please note: this is an adopted recipe and I hope to make it soonest. If you make it before I do, I would appreciate feedback, Thanks . Ingredients:
4 large ripe heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick |
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick |
1/3 cup fresh basil leaf |
1 english cucumber, thinly sliced |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
fine sea salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. On a large platter, arrange cucumber slices on rim of platter, slightly overlapping and alternate and overlap the tomato slices, mozzarella cheese slices, and basil leaves.
2. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.
