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
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes and fresh basil leaves thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes into even slices approximately 0.5cm thick. Arrange them neatly on a large serving plate or platter.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Arrange the vegan mozzarella slices in between the tomato slices on the plate, alternating for a visually appealing pattern.
Step 5
Scatter the basil leaves evenly over the tomatoes and mozzarella. You can keep the basil leaves whole or tear them slightly for added aroma.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salad, followed by the balsamic glaze, to enhance flavor and presentation.
Step 7
Sprinkle the sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the assembled salad to taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or as a light, refreshing meal. Best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
