Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Slice the heirloom tomatoes so that each piece is of medium thickness. About 1/4 inch works well.

  2. Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese the same way. About 1/4 inch for each slice.

  3. Arrange the tomato and cheese slices in a straight line with an alternating pattern on two plates.

  4. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. 

  5. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper if desired. You probably won't need any if the tomatoes and mozzarella are premium quality.

  6. Serve immediately.
