Appetizers

Caprese Salad

Caprese Salad

Makes approx. 4-5 Servings

Ingredients

1 Large Heirloom Tomato

5 Slices, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

6 Basil leaves (Fresh Basil)

1-2 Tablespoons, Olive Oil

1-2 Tablespoons, Balsamic Glaze

S&P

 

Instructions

Slice the tomato into thick slices.  Place them onto a platter.  Slice the mozzarella into thick slices and top each piece of tomato with a slice of the cheese.

Cut the basil into thin slices/ribbons (chiffonade).  You can do this by stacking the leaves on top of each other, then you can gently roll them into a cigar.  Then take a knife and slice them into thin ribbons.

Drizzle Olive Oil over the tomatoes.  Then drizzle the Balsamic Glaze over them.  Sprinkle with S&P and basil.

That’s it! Super easy and oh so delicious!

Mangia! Enjoy!

Tips

1 Large Tomato should yield about 5 nice slices.  If you need to make more than 4-5 servings then add another tomato.  If you are serving this as a side dish, most people will eat 1-2 tomato slices.  You can also use any type of tomato you like.  I have even made this using the smaller little balls of mozzarella with smaller grape/cherry tomatoes.  If I use the smaller tomatoes and smaller balls of cheese, I serve in a bowl and just toss all together.  You can really have fun with this dish by using different colored tomatoes.

If you like garlic, add a sprinkle of some garlic salt to the tomatoes.
