Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the tomatoes into thick, even slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
Cut the dairy-free mozzarella into slices that are similar in size to the tomato slices.
Arrange the tomato slices and dairy-free mozzarella slices on a serving platter, alternating them to create a layered effect.
Add fresh basil leaves on top, tucking them between the tomato and mozzarella slices for a pop of color and flavor.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad, followed by the balsamic vinegar.
Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
