- Arrange alternate slices of tomato and mozzarella cheese decoratively on a serving platter. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, spread fresh basil leaves over the salad, and drizzle with olive oil and the balsamic reduction.

CROSTINI ALLA CAPRESE
Crostini are made from thinly sliced Italian or French bread and lightly toasted. These are topped with a version of Caprese Salad (mozzarella, fresh basil, tomato). These can be served like a canape or threaded onto small skewers. You should be able to find the marinated mozzarella balls in the deli department. If not, use plain mozzarella balls rolled in oregano flakes or small pieces of mozzarella.
