Caprese Salad❤️❤️

-This traditional Caprese salad dish combines creamy, soft fresh mozzarella with juicy tomatoes at their height in the summer, and, friends, it is a wonderful, beautiful thing.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced, torn or cut into bite size pieces
1 1/2 lbs heirloom tomatoes, sliced or cut into bite sized pieces
1/4 cup fresh basil, minced or thinly sliced into ribbons
 salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Directions:

-In a small sauce pan set over medium heat, bring the balsamic, brown sugar, garlic and olive oil to a simmer then reduce heat to medium-low heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar thickens and is reduced by half, about 3 tablespoons. This should take about 6-8 minutes total. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool.

-Toss the mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil with the dressing and season with salt and pepper to taste. Alternatively you can salt the dressing to taste and then sprinkle the top of the salad with flakey salt.
