Ingredients
Directions
- In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook for 10-20 minutes or until balsamic has reduced to a thicker glace. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl or cruet. Allow to cool.
- When you are 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 desired.
- Store extra balsamic reduction in fridge. End with a sprinkling of salt and black pepper. Serve as a lunch, with crusty bread or serve alongside a beef main course for dinner.
