STRAWBERRY CAPRESE SALAD WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION

STRAWBERRY CAPRESE SALAD WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION
 

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pint ripe strawberries
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese (the good stuff!)
  • 4 to 6 leaves fresh basil
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add balsamic vinegar and honey to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer until reduced to ⅓ cup, about 10 minutes..
  2. While balsamic reduction simmers, rinse the strawberries. Remove leaves and quarter the strawberries. Cut mozzarella into ½" pieces, about the same size or slightly smaller than your strawberry pieces. Stack the basil leaves on top of each other, roll the leaves longways, and slice the roll into pieces - giving you chiffonade cut basil (long strips).
  3. Gently toss the strawberries, mozzarella, and basil in a bowl. Portion salad and drizzle with reduced balsamic for serving.
