Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Stacks …
Celebrate summer with this beautiful and delicious salad!
Last Friday night we had friends over to grill, swim and unwind after the week. My friend Betsy made this salad for us and it went perfectly with our burgers. I am hoping to make it again later this summer with my own garden tomatoes! Thank you Betsy, it was fun (and delicious!)!
Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Stacks
Ingredients:
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- 4 medium-sized vine-ripened tomatoes
- 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese
- Sea salt

Directions:
- To julienne basil leaves: Stack basil leaves and roll tightly into a cigar type roll. Slice into thin ribbons.
- Cut tomatoes and mozzarella into 1/4" thick slices. Arrange tomato and mozzarella slices into stacks of alternating layers. Sprinkle julienned basil and sea salt over each stack. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over each stack and serve immediately.
