Preparation 20 minutes preparation + 15 minutes cooking
Dice all the vegetables uniformly. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Quickly sauté the celery, then add the peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the zucchini. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the tomatoes and the mozzarella. Arrange alternating slices of mozzarella and tomato on a platter. Place the sautéed vegetables with thyme in the center. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and oregano.

Chef's Tip
We recommend adding salt to vegetables only when they have finished cooking, so that their liquid does not escape. It is a dish that can be easily served during the summer due to its composition and the inclusion of vegetables and greens.
