Tomato Basil and Mozzarella Fresca Appetizer with Basil Vinaigrette


1 Tomato

1 Mozzarella Fresca chunk

Basil leaves

Vinagrette:


3 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 1/2 T. Balsamic Vinegar

Juice of 1 lemon

More Basil, about 1 Tablespoon, minced

Salt


Slice the Tomato into several slices. Thinly and gently slice the mozzarella. Give a little salt to both.

Make the vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, minced basil, and add just a pinch of salt to season it up.

Plate the tomato as pictured, alternating tomato, cheese and laying a basil leaf on top. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve immediately.

  1. I took several platters of this dish to my church luncheon and received raves. The only thing I added was pepper. Delicious!
