Ingredients

4 large ripe tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices

3/4-lb. fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained

3 tbsps balsamic vinegar

1 clove garlic, pressed

2 tsps salt

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into julienne strips

Directions

For dressing, in a food processor or blender, blend sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and red pepper flakes until well combined. With machine running, gradually add olive oil in a steady stream; process until well combined.

On a large, chilled platter, arrange tomato slices and fresh mozzarella. Top with fresh-sliced basil. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.

Leftover dressing to the rescue: Any remaining dressing may be served with a fresh salad or used as a dip for crusty bread or vegetables. Brush some on poultry or seafood before grilling.

Quick tip: If you are pressed for time, simply arrange tomatoes and mozzarella on well-chilled platter. Drizzle with a 2:1 ratio of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt, pepper and fresh basil.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
