Caprese Salad

I've been wanting to make this all summer and finally got around to it. This is a classic combination that is so good it deserves to be served more than once a summer. The key to this dish is the tomato. You want to look for a organic beef steak tomato that's ripe but still firm. Drizzle the whole salad with some olive oil and some fresh ground salt and pepper and you've got perfection.
 
Ingredients:
1 large organic beef steak tomato
Fresh mozzarella cheese
Basil leaves
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Preparation: Slice the tomato into 6 pieces and arrange on the plate. Add some olive oil on to the tomato's. Slice 6 pieces of mozzarella cheese and tuck in between the tomato's. Pick 6 nice basil leaves off the bunch and slide in between the mozzarella and tomato slices. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and a grind of  salt and pepper and your done.
