Wash and slice the tomatoes approximately 1/4 inch thick (you will get around 6 slices per tomato). Lay the tomato slices on the serving dish.
Slice the mozzarella into as many pieces as you have tomato slices. Lay the mozzarella on top of the tomato.
Place a large basil leaf on each stack on top of the mozzarella.
Cut the nectarine into wedges, with at least as many pieces as you have stacks. Place one wedge of nectarine on each stack.
Sprinkle the salad stacks with a little salt and balsamic vinegar, if using. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve (if making in advance, wait to salt and glaze the salad until serving).
Notes
Because this recipe is so simple, the higher quality of tomato you can get, the better. Try to use tomatoes in season and look for heirloom or farm fresh tomatoes.Peach can be used in place of nectarines as they are from the same trees and very similar.
