Caprese Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes Drizzled with a Summertime Peach White Balsamic & Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Vinaigrette
Ingredients
Vinaigrette:
- 3 Tbsp Sigona’s summertime peach white balsamic
- 3 Tbsp Sigona’s Meyer lemon fusion olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Caprese:
- 1 lb. assorted heirloom tomatoes cut into 1/4-1/2-inch thick slices (I’m partial to the Cherokee Purple)
- fresh basil chiffonade, about 2 to 3 tbsp total
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella such as Galbani, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes first and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Let them rest for a few minutes to bring out the intense tomato flavor.
- In a small bowl, briskly whisk together the three ingredients for the vinaigrette.
- Arrange the tomato slices and mozzarella slices, slightly overlapping one over the other, on a serving platter. Sprinkle on the chiffonade basil and drizzle on the vinaigrette.
