FAQ
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
It's best assembled just before serving since the tomatoes release liquid over time, but you can slice the tomatoes and mozzarella up to an hour ahead and keep them covered in the fridge.
What can I use instead of passionfruit?
Fresh mango or a few pomegranate seeds give a similar sweet-tart contrast if passionfruit isn't available.
What kind of tomatoes work best?
Ripe, flavorful tomatoes like heirloom or vine tomatoes make the biggest difference here, since the dish relies entirely on the quality of its few ingredients.
