Caprese Salad Recipe Video
Ingredients
Plum tomatoes - about 8 (remove the seeds and slice in half!)
Olive oil - 1/4 cup
Balsamic vinegar - 1 1/2 tablespoons
Minced garlic cloves - 2
kalamata olives (as much as you like!)
Sugar - 2 teaspoons
Salt & Pepper
Mozzarella Cheese (I used buffalo mozzarella)
Basil (chopped into thin strips)
Directions
GETTING READY
1. Preheat the oven to 350*.

2. Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up. Drizzle with olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with the garlic, sugar, and some salt & pepper.
3. Roast for 1 1/2 hrs (2 hrs max) until the tomatoes are concentrated and begin to caramelize. Check on them to make sure they're not getting burned or bubbling too much - if so, just turn the heat down!
4. Allow the tomatoes to cool to room temperature.
SERVING
5. Layer the tomatoes w/ the mozzarella. Sprinkle some kalamata olives around the plate and than sprinkle w/ the basil. Serve the dish immediately.

Editors Review
If you have enough mozzarella cheese, then you can make this Caprese salad. It is a very popular Mediterranean salad made with very less ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic and cheese. Check out the video for recipe detail.Chef
