Tuscan Tomato Salad

• Cut 2 or 3 heirloom tomatoes into medium-thick slices.
• Do the same with some fresh mozzarella cheese, ending up with an equal number of slices of cheese and tomato. [note: fresh mozzarella is not the same as the plastic wrapped balls you find in the dairy case. Ask Woodlands cheese dept. to show you the difference, it's well worth it!]
• pluck unblemished leaves from a bunch of fresh basil, approximately 2 leaves per each slice of tomato.
• Arrange on each plate the tomato, basil and cheese slices in alternating layers. Drizzle with some good quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a grind of fresh black pepper.
• Serve with white wine and garlic bread for a great summer lunch dish. It will transport your spirit to the hillsides of rustic Tuscany, or to our own nearby Napa.
