How To Make caprese salad with balsamic vinegar reduction

• 1

  Wash tomatoes and dry. Slice tomatoes and set aside. Wash fresh basil. Dry it and set it aside. Drain liquid from fresh mozzarella. Slice the mozzarella into 4 pieces and set aside.
• 2

  In a small saucepan, combine vinegar and honey over high heat.
• 3

  Watch this very closely as it will boil over easily. Continue to monitor until it starts to thicken slightly. The timing will vary, but this should take approximately 15-20 minutes. Don't turn your back or you will have a very sticky stovetop mess.
• 4

  Remove from the heat to cool slightly.
• 5

  While the vinegar reduction is cooling, begin to assemble your salad. On each salad plate, place one tomato slice followed by a slice of fresh mozzarella.
• 6

  Then add another tomato slice. Arrange fresh basil on top of the tomato decoratively. Let the artist in you come out.
• 7

  Lightly sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.

  Then, decoratively drizzle balsamic vinegar reduction over the salad and around the plate.
