Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2-3 ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 lb. fresh mozzarella
  • 10-12 fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons espresso balsamic vinegar ((or any quality aged balsamic))
  • 1/2 teaspoon Morton's Lite Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Wash and dry tomatoes. Slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices and place on a paper-towel lined plate or baking sheet. Sprinkle tomatoes with the salt. Let the tomatoes set for about 15 minutes—this will help release the extra moisture.
  • Slice the fresh mozzarella into 1/4-inch slices. In a rimmed shallow dish or small platter, alternately layer slices of tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves.
  • Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve.
