The Godfather Italian Seasoning
Directions
Cut the tomatoes into slightly thick slices. Cut the slices in half for more bite sized portions.
Do the same with the mozzarella.
Depending on the visual you want to create with white and red on the plate, place either the mozzarella slices first or the tomatoes. Lightly sprinkle each layer with The Godfather seasoning for more flavor.
Same with the fresh basil. You can place the fresh basil as whole leaves on top of each slice or mince them and distribute evenly over everything.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over everything, then drizzle some olive oil on top.
Recipe Note
For a visually striking finish, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top of the dish alongside regular balsamic vinegar. The glaze not only enhances the flavor but also creates an eye-catching design, especially if you've arranged the tomatoes and mozzarella in a specific pattern.
