Tomatoes with Creamy Balsamic Drizzle
This is my first stab at using the massive amount of tomatoes from my garden. 
I thought it would be interesting to try a cheesy balsamic dressing instead of a traditional mozzarella and tomato salad. It came out delicious and stuck to the juicy tomatoes perfectly.
Oh! And check out the basil leaves, first ones from my small windowsill herb garden!
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup red wine vengar
- About ½ tsp garlic powder
- About ½ tsp onion powder
- About ½ tsp oregano powder
- 1 oz mozzarella cheese
- Tomatoes
- Fresh basil leaves
In a small pot over medium heat add the vinegars and spices. Bring to a boil and let it reduce just a bit. Stir in the cheese until it melts (almost immediately) and drizzle over freshly sliced tomato slices. Top with fresh basil leaves.
The entire batch of drizzle is about 200 calories, 5 g of fat and no fiber. I had enough to make at least 4-5 batches of what you see in the picture. So I counted it as a point for that whole salad.

Yum. Sounds really good and looks so pretty against the bright red of your tomatoes. : )
Looks delish... you are so creative!
That looks like a great alternative to a 'regular' salad... would make a great appetizer too! Beautiful presentation too - nice adding the basil!
