Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes (e.g., heirloom or Roma)
- 200 grams vegan mozzarella
- 15 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and fresh basil leaves thoroughly under running water.
Slice the tomatoes into even slices approximately 0.5cm thick. Arrange them neatly on a large serving plate or platter.
Slice the vegan mozzarella into rounds roughly the same thickness as the tomato slices. If your vegan mozzarella comes in a soft block, cut it into similar-sized pieces.
Arrange the vegan mozzarella slices in between the tomato slices on the plate, alternating for a visually appealing pattern.
Scatter the basil leaves evenly over the tomatoes and mozzarella. You can keep the basil leaves whole or tear them slightly for added aroma.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salad, followed by the balsamic glaze, to enhance flavor and presentation.
Sprinkle the sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the assembled salad to taste.
Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or as a light, refreshing meal. Best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
