Ingredients

  • 1 ripe tomato, any variety (preferably locally grown or home grown)
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese (if you can swing it the more expensive stuff is worth it…especially the balls of mozzarella floating in water)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Decent quality balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 serving of basil pesto (recipe below)

Preparation

Step 1

1.Cut the tomatoes and mozzarella into slices about ¼ inch thick
2.Arrange the tomatoes flat on a plate, top each one with a slice of mozzarella, and then either with whole or sliced basil leaves
3.Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, if desired
4.Add a dollop or two of pesto to the plate
5.Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar
Hint: If I am in a hurry I just chop everything up into pieces and throw it all together in a bowl. It tastes just the same that way!
