Description
Learn how to make a delicious Fresh Tomato Caprese Salad with this easy recipe. Enjoy the perfect combination of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) balsamic vinegar
- 3 ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
- 12 oz. (340 g) fresh beef cheese, sliced thick
- Fresh basil leaves
- Vegetable oil, for drizzling
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small pot, heat the balsamic vinegar over medium-low flame until it starts to boil. Let it simmer until it thickens into a glaze, which should take between 10 to 20 minutes. Once thickened, take it off the heat and pour it into a bowl or small container. Let it cool down.
- When it’s time to serve, lay out the tomato and mozzarella slices on a serving dish. Position the basil leaves among the slices. Lightly drizzle vegetable oil over the salad, ensuring each piece gets a bit. Repeat the process with the balsamic glaze, adding artistic touches if desired. Any leftover balsamic glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
- Finish by sprinkling salt and freshly ground black pepper on top. This can be served as a lunchtime dish with crusty bread, or accompany it with a beef main dish for dinner.
Notes
- Use fully ripe and juicy tomatoes to enhance the flavor of the salad.
- Slice the beef cheese thickly to ensure a satisfying bite in each piece.
- Be mindful of drizzling vegetable oil lightly to maintain a balanced flavor profile.
