I love this traditional Mediterranean appetizer of fresh caprese salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and pesto. This salad makes for a nice light lunch or as a side salad for dinner.

- 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1 Pound Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (Sliced)
- 3 Large Tomatoes (Sliced)
- 1 Bunch Fresh Basil (Torn)
