Wash the tomatoes and basil leaves under cold water.
Slice the tomatoes into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Slice the fresh mozzarella into similar-sized rounds.
On a serving platter, arrange alternating slices of tomato and mozzarella.
Insert fresh basil leaves between the layers for added flavor.
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the arranged salad.
Add balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and tang.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best experience.
