• grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half*
• fresh basil, leaves only
• fresh mozzarella pearls, slices, or burrata
• salt
• olive oil
• balsamic vinegar

Layer the bottom of a plate or shallow bowl with tomatoes and basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Place mozzarella on top and sprinkle everything with salt.

*You can also slice a full-size tomato and arrange between slices of mozzarella. The oil and balsamic drizzle can go after the mozzarella is placed, but will leave a brown stain on the cheese that can be unattractive depending on your arrangement.
