Tomato Mozzarella Stack

Tomato Mozzarella Stack

Reminiscent of a Caprese salad, this is something similar we used to serve as an appetizer at the restaurant I worked in. Super easy to make and so refreshing. Serve as an appetizer at your dinner party or as an after school snack for the kids.

What you need:

2 roma tomatoes, sliced thin

6-8 oz of fresh mozzarella, sliced thin

roasted red pepper strips

balsamic reduction

fresh or dried basil

On a platter alternate tomato and mozzarella slices. Using a few pieces of the red pepper top every other or every third piece of mozzarella. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and sprinkle with basil.

Notes:

I prefer fresh basil but I don't always have it. Also, feel free to use whatever kind of tomatoes you might prefer. I prefer roma because they are meatier and have less juice and seeds.
