Preparation

Step 1

1. Slice the buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes into ½-inch rings and place them into a large bowl. Set aside.

2. Heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium-low heat.
Add the minced garlic and pine nuts and cook, stirring often, until the pine nuts are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the heat and pour immediately into a glass mixing bowl.
Toss the pine nuts with the grated Parmesan cheese and a few pinches of sea salt.

3. Add the pine nut mixture to the tomatoes and mozzarella and drizzle with additional olive oil and vinegar, to taste. Garnish with basil and additional Parmesan, if desired, and serve. Makes 8 servings.
