On this first day of meteorological spring I am posting this salad and will come back to it midsummer when the tomatoes start coming into season. I can see some beautiful heirloom tomatoes on this plate. C'mon summer!
1/2 C. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. minced shallots
1/4 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper
1/4 C. olive oil
1lb. fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large ripe red tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large ripe yellow tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large green or orange tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
18 large fresh basil leaves for garnish
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, garlic, shallots, sugar, salt and pepper; whisk in the oil. Let stand at least 1 hour before using.
On a large serving platter, arrange the mozzarella slices alternately with the tomato slices. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Garnish with basil leaves just before serving.
