Ingredients

• 2 large Heirloom tomatoes
• 8 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and drying the heirloom tomatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.

Step 2

Drain the fresh mozzarella to remove excess moisture. Slice the mozzarella into similar 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 3

On a large serving platter or four individual plates, layer the tomato slices with the mozzarella slices, alternating between them.

Step 4

Tuck whole fresh basil leaves between the layers of sliced tomato and mozzarella. You can adjust the amount of basil to your taste preference.

Step 5

Drizzle the entire arrangement with extra-virgin olive oil, ensuring an even coating over the layers of tomato, mozzarella, and basil.

Step 6

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad as well, using a spoon or bottle to create a light, decorative drizzle.

Step 7

Finally, sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste over the salad.

Step 8

Serve the Keto Classic Caprese Salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side to your main course.
