What is wrong with the salad the way it is?

If that combination is getting "stale" then try the following:

1. Layer the tomatoes, mozzaralla, and thin sliced red onion.
2. Mix some fresh minced garlic with some red or white wine vinegar cut
50/50 with wine(to match) and some Extra Virgin Olive Oil - mix to make a
vinegartette.
3. Spoon the dressing lightly over the layers.
4. Top with a little salt (not too much or you'll mask some of the
flavors, and fresh Cracked pepper to taste.
5. If you want to add a chiffanade of basil OK but I think basil is
overdone these days.
