I make this salad very often, and assume others do too. If not, get to the store, buy some fresh buffalo mozzarella (not the fake stuff that shreds easily), basil, and tomatoes. Or, better yet, go to your garden and pick some tomatoes and basil. I bought yellow and red tomatoes from the farmers market.
This salad tastes best when you are actually in Italy. However, real buffalo mozzarella cheese is widely available in US supermarkets, so we can make a pretty good knock-off.
Easiest directions ever: Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella. Break up or coarsely chop the basil leaves. Layer everything into a pretty pattern. Drizzle with olive oil. Add some freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy.
