A delightful twist on the classic Caprese salad, featuring a balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Slice the ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese into even slices.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and maintain the integrity of the ingredients.
Arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices alternately on a serving platter.
Overlap the slices slightly for a visually appealing presentation.
Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the arranged slices.
Tear the basil leaves by hand to release their aroma.
In a small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together to emulsify the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and serve immediately.
Serve the salad promptly to enjoy the fresh flavors at their peak.
