1. Slice Mozzarella
Slice the cold buffalo mozzarella into generous discs and allow them to reach room temperature to fully release the cheese's subtle flavors and creamy texture.
2. Prepare Tomatoes
Slice the ripe heirloom tomatoes into even slices, lay them out in a single layer, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to bring out their natural juices.
3. Assemble Salad
On a serving platter, alternate slices of mozzarella and tomato, tucking in whole basil leaves between them. Drizzle any collected tomato juices over the top.
4. Season and Dress
Season the assembled salad with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then liberally drizzle with high-quality extra-virgin olive oil.
5. Final Touch
Scatter the reserved basil leaves over the salad for a hint of freshness and a pop of color before serving.
