I love this appetizer/salad. The flavor combination is deceptively simple, yet very flavorful. I adore fresh mozzarella and this is a great way to showcase it. I prefer the taste of fresh basil to the dried, but the dried was still very tasty in this. I would highly recommend measuring the oil to taste instead of accurately measuring out 4 Tbsp - you might end up with too much if you do. I also added just a sprinkling of sea salt and a grinding of black pepper over the top just before serving as a garnish.

Made this for lunch along with a loaf of french bread for cleaning up the plate. I too added salt & pepper. I also leave it at room temperature for an hour to allow all the flavours to mingle.

I just made this, it was really good. I made it for one serving, because I was the only one home. It was great, I will definetely make this often. Good with salt and pepper.
