Start by placing spinach onto a small platter and level it out to make it look pretty.

Slice the plum tomatoes into about 1-inch thick slices, discarding the end piece.

Prepare the mozzarella by removing the ends and alternating tomato and cheese slices on top of the spinach.

Continue alternating until you have three rows of tomatoes and mozzarella.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the arranged salad.

Drizzle olive oil over the salad.

Drizzle balsamic glaze on top for decoration.

Optionally, add chopped scallions on top for extra flavor.
