Step 1

Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season with salt.

Step 2

Arrange tomato slices on a platter, slightly overlapping; season generously with salt. Arrange mozzarella over tomatoes; lightly season mozzarella with salt. Spoon cherry tomatoes over salad and drizzle with 6 Tbsp. oil; season with pepper. Let stand 30 minutes to let flavors meld and release juices from tomatoes and mozzarella.

Step 3

Top salad with basil and additional salt and oil, if desired. Serve with bread alongside.
