Instructions:

1. Slice the Tomatoes and Mozzarella
   • Wash the tomatoes and cut them into ¼-inch thick slices.
     
   • Slice the mozzarella into similar thickness.
     
2. Assemble the Salad
   • On a large plate or serving platter, alternate slices of tomato and mozzarella in a single layer, slightly overlapping.
     
   • Tuck fresh basil leaves between the layers or scatter them on top.
     
3. Drizzle with Olive Oil
   • Pour the olive oil evenly over the salad for a light and fresh flavor.
     
4. Add Seasoning
   • Sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
     
5. Optional: Add Balsamic Glaze
   • Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the salad for a sweet and tangy touch.
     
6. Serve Immediately
   • Serve the Caprese salad as a starter, side dish, or light meal. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a glass of white wine.
