How good is a caprese salad? Man it is such a great dish. One of my favorite Italian salads. Little drizzle of a balsamic reduction.. Ah what a taste sensation.. This is a lunch-style sandwich that still incorporates the great flavors of a caprese salad, but makes it entire an entire lunch.
Fresh mozzarella (1/2 lbs)
Basil (about 10 leaves)
Roma Tomato (1 or 2, depending on how thick you like your tomato)
White Bread (6 slices)
Balsamic Vinegar (2 tbs)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (2 tbs)
First, cut the crusts off the bread. We just want the light fluffy insides. Then, cut it in half. Put the 12 slices in a a fry pan or on a griddle, with some melted butter, and toast them up. Once they get lightly browned, Take 6 of them off. Slice up the tomato and mozzarella, and put it on the pieces of bread on the griddle. Top it with a leaf of basil. Put the 6 slices back on top, and flip them. Melt the cheese. Mix the oil and vinegar in a bowl for a dipping sauce.
It's a light, flavorful, wonderful sandwich. Somewhat reminiscent of an extremely light grilled cheese sandwich. A great tasting lunch!
