I had homemade pesto alla genovese in the refrigerator. Since I bought mozzarella bufala, I made caprese salad.

You can use regular Balsamic vinegar. White Balsamic vinegar is slightly sweeter. Recipe by Brandy

Steps

1

Wash the tomatoes, pat dry and slice vertically. Wash the basil and pat dry. Slice the mozzarella cheese and place it between tomato slices with the basil leaves.
2

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Put some pesto on the side (or pour over the salad). Serve with bread as an appetizer or light evening meal.
3

I added avocado slices and tomato sauce. I omitted the balsamic vinegar and use lemon juice instead. This was what I had for dinner one night.
