As you may have heard me mention before, caprese salad is one of my absolute favorite things to eat. I truly don’t think it gets better than meaty chunks of mozzarella topped with fresh basil and perfectly ripe tomatoes; I could easily eat this mediterranean staple everyday.
Many restaurants prepare this dish with a such a fancy presentation, you would never guess how easy it is to recreate this gourmet looking dish at home. With only a handful of ingredients, caprese salad is an easy yet impressive side dish or appetizer.
Ingredients:
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
- 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons balsamic reduction
- salt and pepper
1.Slice the mozzarella into centimeter thick pieces, place on a medium size plate or serving tray.
- Slice the tomatoes with a serrated knife, place the tomato slices on top of the mozzarella.
- Evenly distribute the basil leaves over the tomatoes.
- Drizzle with balsamic reduction glaze, sprinkle with salt and pepper,
serve and enjoy!
