Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients:

3 Roma Tomatoes
12 oz Fresh Mozzarella Slices
½ Cup Fresh Basil Leaves 
2 TBSP  Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Pepper
2 TBSP Balsamic Glaze Drizzle

Instructions:

Slice tomatoes and mozzarella into slices  about ¼ inch thick or to your liking. Arrange them on a plate in layers adding a slice of mozzarella in between each tomato. Add a piece of fresh basil in between each layer on top of the mozzarella cheese slices. 

Drizzle olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle on balsamic glaze. Make sure this is done right before serving so if it will be a while, just wait to add until ready to serve. The salt will pull out the liquid from the tomato and you don’t want a soggy salad. 


To Make Balsamic Glaze:
Add balsamic glaze to a saucepan and simmer on the stove until thick. The amount will reduce and then thicken on its own. No need to add in anything else.
