INGREDIENTS (for each serving) 3 thick slices of ripe tomato 1 slice onion (white or sweet onion) 2 thick slices fresh buffalo mozzarella drizzle of olive oil 1 Tablespoon smooth pesto (it should be liquid enough to drizzle) several grinds of coarse black pepper 2 or 3 fresh basil leaves DIRECTIONS On a salad plate, arrange tomato, onion and cheese, starting and ending with tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and pesto. Top with pepper and basil. Serve at room temperature. PRESENTATION Make a tower on a bare plate or fan the ingredients out on a large piece of green leaf lettuce. NOTE: The tomato needs to be ripe, but still firm. If the slices are really watery, lay them on a paper towel to absorb any extra juices before plating. Copyright © 2013 Stefanie Samara Hamblen |
