Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the tomatoes into even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Drain the low-fat mozzarella and slice it into rounds similar in thickness to the tomatoes.
On a large serving plate or platter, alternate slices of tomato and mozzarella in an overlapping pattern. Tuck fresh basil leaves between the layers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the arranged salad.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
