Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 4 Roma Tomatoes
  • 4-6 oz Fresh Mozzarella
  • 4-5 Fresh Basil leaves
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Slice tomatoes.
  • Slice mozzarella and cut into pieces small enough to fit on tomato slices.
  • Add vinegar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer until reduced by half.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Cut basil leaves into strips.
  • Plate tomato slices.
  • Top each with a piece of cheese and a few basil strips.
  • Drizzle with balsamic reduction.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

This salad tastes best when it's served as soon as possible. However, you can keep it in the fridge- either before or after serving. If making ahead, we'd recommend keeping it in the fridge for no more than 24 hours.
