Ingredients

Place all dressing ingredients — 1 ½ cups basil, 1 chopped shallot, 1 clove chopped garlic, ½ cup EVOO, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp white wine vinegar, 1 tsp Kosher salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes — in a blender, then purée until very smooth. Set aside.

Make the lemon basil vinaigrette

1

Place sliced tomatoes or wedges on a large platter or serving plate. Add halved cherry or grape tomatoes, then season the tomatoes with a few generous pinches of flaky sea salt. Let the tomatoes sit. Scatter the mozzarella pieces on top.

Assemble the salad

2

Drizzle as much of the lemon basil vinaigrette on top of the tomatoes and mozzarella. Season with freshly ground black pepper, if using, then garnish with a few small basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Dress the salad
