This salad is refreshingly simple, mainly prepared with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese. The two ingredients make a killer combination and when drizzled with balsamic vinegar, virgin olive oil and basil leaves, become even more appetising.

Steps
Step 1 : Preparing the balsamic vinegar reduction
Measure the balsamic vinegar and pour into a saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil over a low heat. Cook it until the balsamic vinegar has reduced to half, to a nice thick glaze (but still pourable), this should take about 4-5 mins. Oh and one other thing, your house will stink. But it's a good kind of stink, it's a vinegary stink. If you have a chimney, put in on! Allow the reduction to cool to room temperature before you serve it.
Step 2 : Assembling the salad
Cut the tomatoes & Mozzarella balls into medium slices. Arrange them on a platter, alternating tomatoes & cheese. Tuck whole basil leaves in between the tomato and cheese slices. You can be liberal in use of basil. I feel, the more the better!
Step 3 :
Drizzle on the gorgeous, almost black balsamic reduction. Then drizzle olive oil in a thin stream over the top. Finally, sprinkle on pepper (and salt if you want it. I prefer to let the vinegar be the sole seasoning agent).Its a really cool & refreshing salad. Try it!
