This is barely more than the three ingredients listed above, so all three must be of excellent quality. I like to salt the tomatoes a little bit before assembling the salad—it removes some of their excess liquid—but it isn't strictly necessary.
Ingredients
4 Medium perfectly ripe tomatoes

Preparation Instructions
Core and cut the tomatoes into about 1/4 inch thick slices. If you like, lay them on a board and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Set the board at an angle so the liquid can drain into the sink (or a bowl; it makes a refreshing drink).
Layer tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil on a platter or four individual plates. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.
