CAPRESE SALAD RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
Fresh tomatoes (number depends on how many serves required)
Fresh balls of mozzarella
Fresh basil leaves
Balsamic glaze
Salt
Italian mixed dried herbs
Extra virgin olive oil
UTENSILS:
1 x sharp knife
1 x large round white flat serving plate
METHOD:
1. Cut out the dark part of the tomato by carving a small hole at the top.
2. Then, cut the tomato into slices, approx. 1cm wide.
3. Slice the mozzarella and try to keep them the same width also.
4. Put the largest slice of tomato at the bottom, creating your first layer.
5. Add a sprinkle of salt, dried herbs and a few light drops of extra virgin olive oil.
6. Add a slice of mozzarella on top of the tomato and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
7. Repeat steps 4-7 using a smaller slice of tomato each time (in the order they were cut in)
VINCENZO’S TIP: It’s like putting a tomato back together again! If you use slices that are too big or too small, it won’t look as nice and might end up more like the leaning tower of Pisa!
8. Finish the caprese with the top of the tomato and fill the hole with fresh basil leaves.
