Ingredients

Preparation
Step 1
1.Cut the tomatoes and mozzarella into slices about ¼ inch thick
2.Arrange the tomatoes flat on a plate, top each one with a slice of mozzarella, and then either with whole or sliced basil leaves
3.Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, if desired
4.Add a dollop or two of pesto to the plate
5.Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar
Hint: If I am in a hurry I just chop everything up into pieces and throw it all together in a bowl. It tastes just the same that way!
