About Sliced tomatoes with mozzarella and pesto

Sliced Tomatoes With Mozzarella And Pesto is a classic dish inspired by Italian cuisine, often served as a refreshing appetizer or light snack. It features ripe, juicy tomato slices layered with creamy mozzarella cheese and drizzled with aromatic pesto, made from fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan. This vibrant combination is rich in nutrients; tomatoes provide vitamins A and C, antioxidants like lycopene, and are low in calories. Mozzarella offers protein and calcium but can be higher in fat, so moderation is key. Pesto contributes healthy fats from olive oil and nuts but also contains sodium. Altogether, this dish is a balanced choice with fresh flavors that highlight the simplicity of Mediterranean ingredients while delivering nutritional benefits like heart-healthy fats, essential vitamins, and satisfying textures.
