Slice and Prep: Cut the heirloom tomatoes into even slices. Slice the fresh mozzarella ball into ¼-inch rounds for a uniform look.

Assemble the Salad: On a large serving platter, alternate layers of tomato slices, mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves to create a colorful presentation.

Season & Dress: Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil generously over the top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.

Add Variations (Optional): For an extra layer of taste, drizzle with balsamic reduction or add toppings like avocado, strawberries, or peach slices.

Serve Fresh: Enjoy immediately with crusty bread or as a side dish to your favorite main course.
