This tastes good and is very easy to make. I made sure I used a quality olive oil and fresh mozzarella. I also added 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar as others suggested.

You simply *MUST* use FRESH mozzarella cheese to fully appreciate this recipe. I can't even imagine it with the bland, hard stuff you find in the dairy case at grocery stores. Fresh mozzarella is a bit difficult to find but it's worth the effort. Try specialty stores. I like to slice fresh tomatoes, sprinkle with sea salt, add torn pieces of fresh basil, then the mozzarella. Drizzle all with a good quality extra virgin olive oil combined with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Also known as insalata caprese. Definitely throw in some balsamic vinegar and fresh cracked black pepper. Use the best quality olive oil you can.

To use what I had on hand (which right now is a million cherry tomatoes from the garden!)I made this with shredded cheese and cherry tomatoes. I tossed it all together and served it in bowls. This is a great combination of flavors, and I plan to make it again this coming weekend for company!

great, simple recipe that tastes wonderful and fresh. i didn't have any whole mozzarella on hand so i put lots of shredded mozzarella on top of the tomato slices and then broiled it for a few minutes until melted and slightly browned. added the fresh basil and it was done! i also drizzled balsamic vinegar on the tomato slices along with the olive oil and pepper. very tasty and perfect with an italian-style meal!!

I did something a bit different with this recipe and it worked well. I diced the tomotoes and cubed the cheese. Served it in a bowl like a salad. Everyone loved it. Will make it again and again.

This is a very fresh and extremely easy salad. It was excellent. I do agree with the other reviewer who said to add balsamic vinegar, it makes it yummier. I highly recommend this for a quick and delicious salad!

This recipe is simple but with fresh tomatoes, basil, and a good cheese, it is very flavourful.

My friend made this for a club gathering and there were a lot of weird looks (you don't see mozzerella sliced too often) but after they were told what it was and ventured to try it it was gone quick. The tomatoes and cheese REALLY compliment eachother. Easy appetizer!

I served it on a platter for a buffet picnic. It was so pretty and was a great way to use the tomatoes at the height of the season. I love this so much I could've eaten the whole tray myself!!! Lots of compliments
