What you'll need:
- Fresh Mozzarella
- 2 Fresh Tomatoes
- 5 leaves of Fresh Basil
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- Romaine Lettuce
In a small pot, add the Balsamic Vinegar and sugar and put on low heat. Let simmer until it reduces to half the amount and stir often. Take off heat after the vinegar turns to a syrup-like consistency.
Shred 3 leaves of romaine lettuce and spread it over a plate.
Slice about 1/4 inch thick pieces of fresh mozz and the fresh tomato.
Place the basil leave in a circular shape around the plate and add one in the center.
Alternate the mozz and tomatoes on top of the bed of basil and lettuce.
Lightly drizzle the balsamic vinegar reductions to finish.
OPTIONS: Substitute arugula for romaine to add an extra kick of flavor. Oh so good!
