Slice tomatoes into medium width slices. Slice fresh mozzarella into slices that are similar in width to the tomatoes.
Place tomatoes and mozzarella on a plate, alternating the tomatoes with the slices of cheese. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and herbs over the cheese and tomatoes.
Prepare vinaigrette by whisking together the vinegar and the olive oil. Drizzle the vinaigrette over all ingredients on the serving plate.
Garnish with basil leaves, if desired, and serve.
