- Sprinkle salt and pepper. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Use a spoon and drizzle balsamic glaze. Serve immediately. Bon Appetit
Notes
1) I highly recommend you try making simple Balsamic glaze at home. It's a simple technique of heating balsamic vinegar to thicker consistency.
2) This salad tastes the best when served fresh. Do not prepare it too early before serving. Also do not store prepared salad for too long.
3) Fresh Mozzarella cheese is a classic to this salad. A close second option would be burrata which is creamy and mild in flavor.
How to Make Balsamic Glaze:
Pour 1 cup balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and add ½ tbsp. of sugar.
Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 12-15 minutes.
Stir occasionally until reduced by half and lightly coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken more as it cools.
