Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Heirloom tomatoes
- 8 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the heirloom tomatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.
Drain the fresh mozzarella to remove excess moisture. Slice the mozzarella into similar 1/4-inch thick slices.
On a large serving platter or four individual plates, layer the tomato slices with the mozzarella slices, alternating between them.
Tuck whole fresh basil leaves between the layers of sliced tomato and mozzarella. You can adjust the amount of basil to your taste preference.
Drizzle the entire arrangement with extra-virgin olive oil, ensuring an even coating over the layers of tomato, mozzarella, and basil.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad as well, using a spoon or bottle to create a light, decorative drizzle.
Finally, sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste over the salad.
Serve the Keto Classic Caprese Salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side to your main course.
