Gather @fresh basil{16%leaf} and @black pepper{}.

Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds and season them with @salt{} first, on their own.

Slice the @mozzarella{300%g} to the same thickness as the tomatoes.

Overlap @tomato{4} and mozzarella slices on a platter, alternating as you go.

Tuck whole basil leaves between the slices — torn, never chopped.

Drizzle generously with @olive oil{3%tbsp}, add a twist of pepper, and serve at room temperature with bread for the juices.
