Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound fresh mozzarella cut into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices
  • 2 plum tomatoes cut into a total of 8 thick slices
  • 8 fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crumbled. dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Additional fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preparation

  • Place 2 mozzarella slices on each of 4 individual plates or arrange on a serving platter.
  • Place 1 basil leaf on each mozzarella slice.
  • Top each with a tomato slice. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and mozzarella.
  • Serve at room temperature, garnished with additional basil leaves, if desired.

Tips

  • If you have extra basil, place it in a large glass or pitcher of cold water in the fridge. It will last 4 to 6 days if you remove wilted leaves and change the water occasionally. This tip also works with other fresh herbs.
