The most festive tomato mozzarella salad with balsamic reduction. Make this as an appetizer or side and you'll be the talk of the party!
INGREDIENTS
- 4–5 hothouse (beefsteak) tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 2 (16 oz.) logs of fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- Generous bunch of fresh basil leaves
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
- BALSAMIC REDUCTION
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small casserole dish (I used 8X11X3) arrange slices of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil vertically, in an alternating patten until you have created two rows.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top of the salad, followed by a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
