Ingredients
4-5 tomatoes (on the vine), sliced ½-inch thick
1/3 cup Buona Cucina Oil for your choice you could use Basil, Garlic, Tuscan Herb I could go on and on.
2 tablespoons Buona Cucina Balsamic Vinegar of your choice
(I would use Traditional or Neapolitan Herb)
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 large clove (or two small cloves) garlic, finely minced or crushed
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, plus additional for garnish
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil, plus additional for garnish
1 (16 oz.) log of fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange in a single layer in a large, shallow dish.
In a jar, combine oil, balsamic, honey, onion, garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper.
Close the lid and shake vigorously to emulsify and pour over the tomatoes in the dish.
Cover and marinate for 2 to 3 hours on the counter or more in the refrigerator.
Bring chilled tomatoes to room temperature before serving and garnish with mozzarella and additional chopped fresh herbs if you want. Enjoy!
