Caprese Salad


Another recipe for all the tomatoes that have been growing!  I love Caprese in any way shape or form, but I like this one because it is nice and bite sized.

I learned how to make a balsamic glaze at my cooking class and I will definitely try that on my next caprese salad, because it tasted even better!

Caprese Salad
From: Elizabeth

Ingredients:
Cherry or grape tomatoes
Fresh Mozzarella Balls (small)
Fresh Basil, chopped
Sea Salt and pepper
Olive Oil
Balsamic vinegar (or balsamic vinegar reduction)

Directions:
1. Cut tomatoes and mozzarella in half (or quarters).  Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Add Basil and drizzle with olive oil and Balsamic vinegar (or glaze).


- To make balsamic glaze/reduction heat balsamic vinegar and reduce by half.  Keeps for 1-2 months.

- I've also recently fell in love with this Alaea Sea Salt from Whole Spice when we were visiting my brother in California.  It is fantastic especially on tomatoes!
