Ingredients
- 3 beefsteak tomatoes (large slicing tomatoes)
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced
- 12 large basil leaves
Caprese Salad Dressing
- flakey salt to taste
- freshly cracked pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes in 1/2 inch slices, or about the same thickness as the mozzarella, if it is pre-sliced. Discard the stem ends. Lay the tomatoes on a platter.
- Top the tomatoes with a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf.
- Dress the salad to your liking with your choice of olive oil, flakey salt, freshly cracked pepper, and/or balsamic glaze. Use one, or all for a delicious flavor combination.
Notes
- Optionally, you can layer the tomatoes and cheese on top of each other or in other artistic configurations.
- The basil can be served on the salad whole, or you can chop the basil to make it easier for serving/eating.
