Tomatoes with Buffalo Mozzarella (Caprese Salad)

If there ever was a salad that completely rocks my world, this is it.  It's a seasonal salad which brings me massive amounts of joy.  When I say seasonal, I say this because the tomatoes should be in season.  Nothing worse than a pale mealy tomato.  Blech.  In the winter months, I'd have to recommend roasting the tomatoes to get the maximum flavour and texture.
If you've never had fresh Buffalo Mozzarella cheese, you need to.  It's insanely delicious.  The Butcher's Daughter's http://butchersdaughters.ca/ in my area carries it, thank goodness.  It's next to impossible to find it in my neck of the woods and when I crave it, I must fulfil that craving.  I was constantly substituting with Bocconcini which bares no resemblance, in my opinion and certainly wasn't cutting it.
I won't give you exact ingredients for this because it's really up to you how much to make, but I will tell you to use only the best ingredients. Great cheese, ripest tomatoes, garden fresh basil, great balsamic (optional) and really good quality olive oil)  It makes all the difference.  Don't skimp.  You deserve this.  It's wicked delish.
P.S.  sorry about the photo.  It was taken on my phone.  I will update when I make this again....very soon.
