Caprese Salad With Balsamic Reduction - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large tomatoes, sliced
6 -8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced (depending on how much you like)
handful fresh basil
drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Preparation

For the balsamic reduction: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until reduced to about half of the original amount (about 20 minutes.) Watch it carefully. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, assemble the salad by layering the tomato, mozzarella, and basil.
Lightly drizzle the olive oil and balsamic reduction over the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
