Ingredients

• 2 tomatoes
• 1 ball of mozzarella (125 g)
• about a dozen basil leaves
• a pinch of dried oregano
• first cold-pressed olive oil (extra virgin)
• salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Slice the tomatoes. Remove the mozzarella from the brine and cut into thin slices. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter alternating with mozzarella.
2. Place a basil leaf on each slice of mozzarella. Season the salad with freshly ground pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of first cold-pressed olive oil. Season with salt just before serving.
3. You can also sprinkle dried oregano over the tomatoes. A more elaborate version of the salad can be made by replacing the olive oil with basil pesto or balsamic vinegar reduction.
