Instructions

  1. Wash and slice strawberries and mozzarella into even pieces.
  2. On a serving platter, alternate strawberry slices, mozzarella, and basil leaves in a single layer or stacked.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
  4. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Serve immediately, optionally over a bed of arugula or spinach.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm strawberries for the best texture.
  • To make your own glaze, reduce balsamic vinegar in a pan until thickened.
  • Try mint instead of basil for a different twist.
