It is the next best thing to fresh tomatoes from the garden.
Caprese Salad
Ingredients:
As many tomatoes as you want. In summer I slice the large ones, now I am cutting these yummy cherry tomatoes in half.
Glaze with Balsamic vinegar of Modena (you can make your own balsamic vinegar reduction, but I LOVE this stuff. My sister in law found it for me several years ago. )
Real Mozzarella cheese
Fresh Basil leaves
Olive oil for drizzling
sea salt and pepper
Slice tomatoes in half, top each half with a cube or the cheese, add a small piece of the fresh basil, add top tomato. I put a toothpick through the cherry tomatoes. You don't need a "top" with regular tomatoes.
Drizzle olive oil and the Balsamic glaze over the tops. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Serve with a crusty bread, or with beef for dinner. We eat them with everything!
