Easy Summer Caprese tomato Salad

Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 medium heirloom or ripe red tomatoes
  • 12 slices fresh mozzarella
  • 10–12 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  • On a serving platter, layer the tomato slices, mozzarella slices, and basil leaves in an alternating pattern, slightly overlapping them for a beautiful presentation.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced and thickened into a syrup-like glaze. Let it cool slightly.
  • Lightly season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top just before serving.
