Ingredients

  • 2 large tomatoes sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar sugar-free, optional

Instructions

  • Layer the tomato slices and mozzarella slices on a platter, alternating each slice. Tuck basil leaves between the tomato and mozzarella.
  • 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.
