Ingredients

c. balsamic vinegar

kosher salt freshly ground black pepper

fresh basil leaf

whole ripe tomatoes, sliced thick

olive oil, for drizzling

ozmozzarella cheese, sliced thick

Directions

Step 1

Bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Cook for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the balsamic has reduced to a thicker glaze. Remove it from the heat and transfer to a bowl or cruet. Allow to cool.

Step 2

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.
