You can make Caprese salad any time of the year...but it is really delicious when tomatoes are in season. Enjoy!
Ingredients
10 ounces cherry or cherub tomatoes, chopped in half
8 ounces whole milk mozzarella, cherry sized, chopped in halves or fourths
¼ cup fresh basil
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. honey
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. olive oil (optional)
Directions
Add the balsamic vinegar and honey to a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Once it’s reduced by approximately half and thickened to your liking (about 5-10 minutes) remove from the heat. Be careful it doesn’t get too thick, but a bit syrupy is good.
Toss all ingredients except for the reduction in a bowl. Drizzle with the reduction, adding a little at a time, tossing, tasting, and then adding more to your liking.
Recipe Note
You can also prepare this with large tomatoes. Just cut them into smaller pieces.
