Take one fresh mozzarella ball and a tasty, ripe tomato of about the same size. Cut them into ¼-inch slices.Place your tomato stem-side down on a cutting board and slice it vertically. Remove the stem from the middle slices. Arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices alternately on a plate, placing fresh basil leaves between them.
Season with salt and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over it.
