Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits and Cheese: Start by peeling the mangoes and slicing them neatly into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Do the same with the fresh mozzarella cheese. Aim for even thickness for visual appeal.

    Layer the Ingredients: On a large platter, alternate between the mango slices and mozzarella slices. Place a fresh basil leaf on top of each layer for a pop of color and flavor. Continue the pattern until all ingredients are arranged beautifully.

      Season the Salad: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the arranged mango and mozzarella. Follow that with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze, allowing it to cascade over the layers.

        Add Final Touches: Sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Adjust according to preference, focusing on enhancing the natural sweetness of the mango and the creaminess of the mozzarella.

          Serve: For the best experience, serve immediately at room temperature. This dish can be a refreshing starter or a vibrant side to grilled meats.
