Tomato Mozzarella Caprese Salad



 I have to admit how much I love this Tomato Mozzarella Caprese Salad. It’s my go to when I want a light snack without all the fuss. Only problem is, I never have enough Mozzarella Cheese balls in the fridge, so it becomes a treat when I have it in the house. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves fresh tomatoes, Mozzarella Cheese and fresh basil.

Ingredients 

1 medium ripe vine tomatoes, sliced ¼ inch thick

16 oz. pre-sliced fresh mozzarella, I use Belgioioso

1 bunch fresh basil, to go in between

¼ cup olive oil, extra virgin

¼ cup balsamic glaze, to taste you can use red wine vinegar if you don’t have balsamic

½ tsp. salt, to taste

½ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked

Instructions 

Sliced the tomatoes into ¼" thick slices.

Wash the basil bunch and pick out all the leaves.

In a platter, start by layering the tomatoes, mozzarella slices and tucking the basil leaves in between each.

Drizzle the olive oil, balsamic glaze, and season with some salt and pepper and serve.

I serve this with garlic bread to make it a complete meal.
