Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 roma tomatoes
- 1 fresh mozzarella 16 ounce log
- ¼ cup fresh basil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Wash your tomatoes and use a sharp knife to slice them.
- Arrange your tomatoes and mozzarella in a circle on a plate, alternating between slices of tomatoes and mozzarella.
- Top the tomato and cheese with basil and balsamic vinegar.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- In addition to using balsamic vinegar, you can use olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also use a mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Fresh mozzarella can be found in the deli section of your grocery store. Make sure you grab the larger log. They are often placed right next to a smaller log that will not provide enough cheese for this recipe.
- We like the sweet flavor of roma tomatoes, but any kind of medium or large tomato will work in this recipe.
- You can store your prepared caprese salad in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply cover the plate tightly with plastic wrap.
