Caprese Tomatoes
An Easy Caprese Salad. This twist on the classic is genius in its presentation. The hasselback cut seems fancy, but it's actually super easy. Delish
Ingredients
- 6 oz. fresh mozzarella (preferably bocconcini), sliced into small rounds
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Flaky sea salt
- 6 units plum tomatoes
- 6 units Fresh basil leaves, torn
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Instructions
- Slice each tomato crosswise, like an accordion, making sure not to cut all the way through.
- Combine mozzarella, olive oil, Italian seasoning and salt in a small bowl. Season to taste with pepper and marinate while you prepare tomatoes.
- Place cut tomatoes on a serving platter. Insert marinated cheese slices and pieces of torn basil into each slit.
- Drizzle tomatoes with balsamic glaze before serving.
