This one's a classic for a reason: creamy mozzarella, vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil, and an easy balsamic reduction create the perfect taste of summer.
Ingredients
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 4 vine-ripened tomatoes
- 2 balls (8 ounces each) fresh mozzarella
- 16 leaves fresh basil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small sauce pot and reduce by half. Let cool to room temperature.
Slice tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into ¼-inch rounds, then shingle with the basil leaves on a serving platter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic reduction.
