CAPRESE SALAD

Caprese Salad image

A summer staple! The thing that sets this Caprese Salad apart from the usual is that it's tossed with a garlic-herb vinaigrette first then finished with a balsamic glaze. Keeps it looking "clean" with terrific flavour! Serve as a side, on toast with avocado or as a light meal with bread.

TOMATO MOZZARELLA SALAD WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING

Tomato Mozzarella Salad With Balsamic Dressing image

This is a fresh, yummy, classic salad that'll use up summer tomatoes and fresh basil. Using prosciutto makes this a little different and we loved the savory addition. The tangy balsamic dressing is easy to prepare and adds a final punch of flavor to the recipe.

Ingredients

1 vine ripened tomato (sometimes I mix the colors of the tomato if I can find em) you can also use cherry or grape tomatoes
1 ball of fresh mozzarella cheese (if you make it with cherry tomato use the small balls of mozzarella)
thinly sliced prosciutto (optional)
4 fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper (a pinch to taste)
BALSAMIC DRESSING
4 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (I have also used white balsamic as well)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 Tbsp dried basil
1 clove garlic (small), minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Prepare the balsamic dressing. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dressing/balsamic-vinaigrette-very-versatile-dressing.html
2. With a serrated knife slice the tomato and mozzarella. Slice the mozzarella a bit thinner.
3. Place the tomato slice on the plate. Top with a tiny pinch salt and pepper. Place the basil leaf on top.
4. Then add the mozzarella; repeat.
5. I like to put the strips of prosciutto on the side of the plate.
6. Then top just the tomato mozzarella with the dressing.
