This is one of those recipes I feel silly posting since it feels like it’s not really a recipe at all! I find that one tomato and one ball of mozzarella is a nice side dish portion for two people. You can easily increase all of the ingredients depending on how many people you’re serving.
In the winter, when delicious large tomatoes aren’t available, I made this with grape tomatoes and chopped mozzarella instead.
