• Drizzle with olive oil and optional balsamic vinegar.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve fresh.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Salt the tomato slices lightly and let them sit for a few minutes before assembling - it draws out excess moisture so the plate doesn't get watery. Keto Swap: none needed - this dish is naturally keto as written. Use the freshest mozzarella you can find; this salad has nowhere to hide mediocre ingredients.
