Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze image

In this jazzed up Caprese salad, a balsamic glaze adds a pop of tangy-sweet flavor to every bite.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Salads

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 heirloom or vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch slices
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into ¼-inch slices (pre-sliced is fine)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Balsamic glaze (store-bought), for drizzling
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh basil, plus more whole sprigs to garnish the platter

Steps:

  • Arrange the tomato slices on a cutting board. Sprinkle with sugar and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and let sit for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a serving platter, alternating with the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over top, followed by an equal amount of the balsamic glaze (it's fine to just eyeball it). Scatter the roughly chopped basil over top. Garnish the platter with sprigs of fresh basil, if desired.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     brunch, easy, lunch, weekday, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh, best-quality mozzarella (preferably buffalo milk)
4 medium heirloom tomatoes
1 bunch fresh basil, leaves only, some reserved for garnish
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Coarsely ground black pepper
High-quality extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • While mozzarella is cold, slice it into 1/4-inch slices. Let it sit, loosely covered, to come to room temperature while you prepare the tomatoes.
  • Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick slices, leaving them in a single layer on the cutting board as you go. Sprinkle generously with salt.
  • On a serving platter, arrange the mozzarella, tomato slices, and whole basil leaves so they overlap slightly. Pour any tomato juices from the cutting board over the dish. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper, and drizzle with plenty of oil. Top with reserved basil, and serve.
