Wash and slice the tomatoes into 3-4 thick rounds per serving.2. Slice the mozzarella into an equal number of slices as the tomatoes.3. Wash and pat dry the basil leaves.4. On each plate, begin layering: tomato slice, mozzarella slice, basil leaf. Repeat to create 3 layers.5. If making balsamic reduction: In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar over medium heat until reduced by half and syrupy (about 5 minutes). Let cool slightly.6. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar or reduction over the stacks.7. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and a crack of black pepper.Chef Tony's Tips:- For the best flavor, use the ripest tomatoes you can find. They should be red and slightly soft to the touch.- If you can't find fresh mozzarella, buffalo mozzarella or bocconcini will work great too.- Don't skip the basil! It's what gives the dish its signature fresh flavor.- This salad is best assembled just before serving to keep the tomatoes and mozzarella at their freshest.Enjoy your stack of Italian-inspired deliciousness, mates!
