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.
