Caprese Salad with Honey Balsamic Reduction

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Honey Balsamic Reduction

  • 1/2 c balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbs honey

For the salad

  • 3 Medium tomatoes any variety - we used Black Krim, Lemon Boy, and Better Boy tomatoes
  • Mozzarella buying the pre-sliced rounds makes this easy - I even slice those in half since they're so thick
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil chopped

Instructions
 

For the Honey Balsamic Reduction

  • Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until syrupy and reduced to 1/3 c, about 10-12 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge.

Assemble the salad

  • Layer the salad in this order - tomato, salt and pepper, mozzarella, honey balsamic reduction, fresh basil.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you're short on time or feeling lazy, you can always skip the honey balsamic reduction and drizzle a few teaspoons of balsamic vinegar over your tomatoes instead.
