Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes (heirloom or vine-ripened)
- 8 ounces Dairy-free mozzarella alternative
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a sharp knife, slice each tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Cut the dairy-free mozzarella into slices similar in thickness to the tomato slices. If the mozzarella is soft, handle it carefully to maintain shape, or use a cheese slicer for uniform pieces.
On a large serving platter or plate, arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices in an alternating pattern (tomato slice, mozzarella slice) in a circular or linear formation.
Tuck fresh basil leaves in between the tomato and mozzarella slices, ensuring each piece has a burst of basil flavor.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the entire salad.
Follow the olive oil with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and tang.
Sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the salad to taste.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or side dish. Enjoy this dairy-free twist on a classic favorite!
