Bocconcini are the smaller fresh mozarrella cheese sold in brine. They are much tenderer and worth the exttra money. This is a nice variation of the usual salad. Ingredients:
4 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced |
250 g bocconcini, thinly sliced |
1 large vine ripened tomato, skinned and cut into wedges |
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon fresh basil |
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. To prepare the dressing, place tomato in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade and process to a textured pure. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to just combine.
2. Arrange the tomato and cheese slices in alternate layers on 4 small plates. Spoon the dressing over and serve immediately.
