Method
? Measure the balsamic vinegar and pour into a saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil over a low heat. Cook it until the balsamic
vinegar reduces to a nice thick glaze (but still pourable), about 15 minutes. Allow the reduction to cool to room temperature
before you serve it.
? When you are ready to assemble the salad, cut the tomatoes into thick slices. Arrange them on a platter, alternating them
with the mozzarella slices. Tuck the whole basil leaves in between the tomato and cheese slices.
? Drizzle on the gorgeous, almost black balsamic reduction. Then drizzle olive oil in a thin stream over the top. Finally,
sprinkle on salt and pepper.
