Steps:

• 1. Wash and core tomatoes and slice thin. Line outer edge of serving platter with baby spinach leaves, reserving a few to go between each row of sliced tomatoes.

• 3. I lightly sprinkled the steak seasoning over the platter. Then I mixed the oil, basil, vinegar,balsamic & minced garlic together in a small bowl & stirred it to blend. Then drizzled over the tomatoes and cheese. Then wrapped in saran wrap, and chilled about 3 hours before dinner was served.
