For an enhanced flavor profile, consider using a balsamic glaze drizzle in addition to the olive oil. If buffalo mozzarella is unavailable, high-quality fresh mozzarella is an excellent substitute. Allowing the tomatoes to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before assembling the salad will intensify their flavor. Experiment with different varieties of basil, such as lemon basil or Thai basil, for a unique twist.
