Tomato-Cucumber Stack w/ Fresh Mozzarella image

I had never heard of this dish before tasting it last summer at my fiancee's house. Then, everywhere I went it began to pop up. Its simple, down-to-earth charm depends upon the freshness of the ingredients- I can't wait for tomato season to return!

I thought this dish was a little bland. I added some salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not sure why, but my mozzarella cheese didn't melt. Maybe I didn't use the right kind?
