Tomato Mozzarella Salad With Balsamic Dressing image

This is a fresh, yummy, classic salad that'll use up summer tomatoes and fresh basil. Using prosciutto makes this a little different and we loved the savory addition. The tangy balsamic dressing is easy to prepare and adds a final punch of flavor to the recipe.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 vine ripened tomato (sometimes I mix the colors of the tomato if I can find em) you can also use cherry or grape tomatoes
1 ball of fresh mozzarella cheese (if you make it with cherry tomato use the small balls of mozzarella)
thinly sliced prosciutto (optional)
4 fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper (a pinch to taste)
BALSAMIC DRESSING
4 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (I have also used white balsamic as well)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 Tbsp dried basil
1 clove garlic (small), minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the balsamic dressing. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dressing/balsamic-vinaigrette-very-versatile-dressing.html
  • 2. With a serrated knife slice the tomato and mozzarella. Slice the mozzarella a bit thinner.
  • 3. Place the tomato slice on the plate. Top with a tiny pinch salt and pepper. Place the basil leaf on top.
  • 4. Then add the mozzarella; repeat.
  • 5. I like to put the strips of prosciutto on the side of the plate.
  • 6. Then top just the tomato mozzarella with the dressing.

I love this salad because it's so versatile. I often add other ingredients, like grilled chicken or roasted vegetables, to make it a more substantial meal.
