  • Cut tomatoes into medium width slices, approximately 8 slices.
  • Cut cheese into slices of similar sized widths as the tomato slices. A round buffalo mozzarella (di buffala) or a burratta cheese allows the slices to closely match the round slices of the tomatoes.
  • On each salad plate, or on a large serving plate, arrange the tomato and cheese slices so they alternate, laying first a slice of tomato and then a slice of cheese. As each slice of tomato is placed on the plate, add a little salt and pepper over each slice.
  • Sprinkle the onion, garlic and capers over the slices of cheese and tomatoes and then top with the sliced prosciutto ham.
  • Whisk together olive oil, vinegar and mustard. Season to taste.
  • Drizzle dressing over all the ingredients, and when ready to serve, garnish with basil.
  • Serves 2 as an entrée or it can be divided to serve 4 as a side salad. When serving 4, use 2 slices of tomato and 1 slice of cheese or vary amounts as desired.
