Ingredients

  • 2 cups Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 whole Ripe Tomatoes, Sliced Thick
  • 12 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese, Sliced Thick
  • Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Olive Oil, For Drizzling

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook for 10 to 20 minutes, or until balsamic has reduced to a thicker glaze.

  2. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl or cruet. Allow to cool.

  3. When you’re ready to serve, arrange tomato and mozzarella slices on a platter. Arrange basil leaves between the slices.

  4. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the salad, getting a little bit on each slice.

  5. Do the same with the balsamic reduction, making designs if you want.

  6. Store extra balsamic reduction in fridge for a later use.
  7. End with a sprinkling of kosher salt and black pepper. Serve as a lunch, with crusty bread. Or serve alongside a beef main course for dinner.
