Step 1
Slice the 8 oz buffalo mozzarella and 3 medium tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a serving platter, alternating slices and overlapping slightly.
Step 2
Tuck the 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves between the tomato and mozzarella slices. Scatter the 1/2 cup black olives over the top.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp salt until well combined.
Step 4
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the flavors meld, then serve at room temperature.
Step 5
Finish with a few extra basil leaves if you like, and season with more salt to taste.
