Cucumber Caprese Salad Twist
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 large Roma tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat the balsamic vinegar in a compact saucepan over an intermediate heat setting. Continue to cook until it has decreased to 1/4 cup, approximately 8 minutes. Take the saucepan off the heat source and permit it to cool down until it reaches a comfortable temperature.
2
During this time, create a visually appealing arrangement of tomatoes, cucumber slices, mozzarella cheese pieces, and basil leaves on a small serving tray. Continue layering ingredients until the entire platter is covered. Anoint with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
3
Finish the dish by drizzling 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooled balsamic vinegar over the salad. Present immediately and enjoy.
