Mozzarella cheese slices | August 3, 2024

Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 200 ml grated mozzarella
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic sauce
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh arugula leaves (optional for variety)

Preparation

1. Prepare ingredients: Start by placing alternating tomato and mozzarella slices on a large, lightly padded plate. If you want to add some flavor, sprinkle fresh arugula leaves between the peppers.
2. Add fresh basil: Place whole basil leaves between the tomatoes and cheese. Basil not only adds freshness and flavor, but it also complements mozzarella cheese perfectly.
3. Dressing: Apply extra virgin olive oil to the prepared areas. Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar to contrast the flavors and bring the dish together.

4. Season: Season with salt and freshly picked fruit. Its taste should be mild so that natural flavors such as tomato, mozzarella and basil can emerge.
5. Serve: Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or side dish. This caprese salad is a testament to the versatility of mozzarella cheese, turning a simple ingredient into a healthy and delicious meal.
