Caprese Salad 

INGREDIENTS:

2 large tomatoes, sliced
6-8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
Handful of fresh basil
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Caprese salad is my number one favorite salad!  OK, let’s be honest..it’s the only salad I like :D.  Caprese is a simple, flavorful, refreshing summertime dish. 

DIRECTIONS:

(balsamic reduction): In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and let simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until reduced to about half of the original amount (15 minutes or little bit less) Watch it carefully. Remove from the heat and set aside.  Meanwhile, assemble the salad by layering the tomato, mozzarella, and basil.

Lightly drizzle the olive oil and balsamic reduction over the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
