For the best flavor, use high-quality, ripe tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense. Feel free to adjust the amounts of ingredients to your liking. Aged balsamic glaze can be used instead of balsamic vinegar for a sweeter, more intense flavor. Chill the mozzarella and tomatoes for 30 minutes before assembling the salad for a refreshing treat. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
