Step by Step

Step 1

Arrange the tomato slices on a cutting board. Sprinkle with sugar and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and let sit for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a serving platter, alternating with the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over top, followed by an equal amount of the balsamic glaze (it's fine to just eyeball it). Scatter the roughly chopped basil over top. Garnish the platter with sprigs of fresh basil, if desired.
