This is an iconic Italian antipasto which portrays the colours of the Italian flag; red, white and green. It is so simple that the impact of this dish is really down to the quality of the ingredients; try and buy a selection of heritage tomatoes, all different shapes and colours, invest in a good mozzarella di bufala, and use a really good extra virgin olive oil – it will be worth it I assure you.
