Fresh Tomato Mozzarella and Basil Salad

This is a winner and a keeper of a recipe.
I love it with the freshest and ripest tomatoes.
Add a little fresh pasta and this is all you need!

Ingredients:
4 large Tomatoes, fresh, ripe and juicy
4 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1 package Fresh mozzarella cheese packed in water
16 leaves Basil, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese to taste

Directions:
Slice tomatoes about one quarter inch thick and arrange on a plate.
Slice thin discs of mozzarella cheese and place on each tomato.
Top with a sprig of basil.
Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Pour over tomatoes.
Add cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temp.
