Caprese Salad
- Ingredients
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
- 3 whole tomatoes (ripe, sliced thick)
- 12 ozs mozzarella cheese (weight, sliced thick)
- 1 leaf fresh basil leaves
- olive oil (drizzling)
- kosher salt
- black pepper
Methodology
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. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl or cruet. Allow to cool.
When you're ready to serve, arrange tomato and mozzarella slices on a platter. Arrange basil leaves between the slices. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the salad, getting a little bit on each slice. Do the same with the balsamic reduction, making designs if you want. Store extra balsamic reduction in fridge for a later use.
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.
