Balsamic Caprese Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 large tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 (16 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components beforehand. Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan, then heat it intensely over high heat.
2
Gradually bring the mixture to a rolling boil, decrease the temperature to a low setting, and let it simmer until the liquid has decreased significantly to 1/3 cup, approximately a 10-minute period. Allow it to rest and cool down.
3
Prepare the serving platter by layering tomato slices with mozzarella cheese in an artistic pattern. Season with salt and black pepper, tuck the basil leaves around the slices, and anoint the entire arrangement with olive oil and the reduced balsamic sauce.
