“This dish must be on every Italian restaurant menu in the world, and when done correctly, it’s the best. The most important thing to remember is that the ingredients must be absolutely tip top. Mozzarella di Bufala is easy to find in most delis and is a world away from the Danish mozzarella available in most supermarkets. The tomatoes also need to be ripe and fragrant, the basil fresh and aromatic, and the avocados well ripened. If not, turn the page and make another dish!”
