Steps:
- Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar, and pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly until dressing is emulsified. Add tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Heirlooms are a great option, but any ripe, juicy tomato will work.
- Make sure your mozzarella is fresh. Fresh mozzarella has a milky, slightly tangy flavor and a soft, creamy texture.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has a fruity, peppery flavor that will complement the other ingredients in the salad.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. The recipe calls for cilantro, but you could also use basil, oregano, or thyme. You could also add a pinch of chili powder or cumin for a bit of heat.
- Let the salad rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
This fresh mozzarella and stacked heirloom tomato salad with green chile-cilantro oil and chipotle vinegar is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also great for potlucks and picnics.
