Notes
TIFFY’S TIPS:
- Use a serrated knife to slice tomatoes.
- For convenience, use pre-sliced, fresh mozzarella, packed in water.
- This is my preferred balsamic reduction, but you can use any store bought option.
- To select fresh tomatoes, look for fruit that smells sweet and fragrant near the stem, feels heavy for its size, and has smooth, shiny skin without deep cracks or bruises.
- To select fresh basil, look for vibrant green leaves, firm stems, and a sweet, pungent aroma. Avoid dark spots, yellowing, or wilting.
