Warm Caprese Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cherry tomatoes and quickly stir until tomatoes just begin to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add zucchini noodles, salt, and pepper. Keep cooking, stirring frequently, until zoodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in mozzarella and basil. Toss to coat. Divide zoodles between 4 bowls and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• While mozzarella is cold, slice it into 1/4-inch slices. Let it sit, loosely covered, to come to room temperature while you prepare the tomatoes.
• Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick slices, leaving them in a single layer on the cutting board as you go. Sprinkle generously with salt.
• On a serving platter, arrange the mozzarella, tomato slices, and whole basil leaves so they overlap slightly. Pour any tomato juices from the cutting board over the dish. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper, and drizzle with plenty of oil. Top with reserved basil, and serve.

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine the cherry tomatoes, cocktail tomatoes and Roma or Campari tomatoes. Drizzle with the oil and scatter the torn basil over the top. Season with the salt and toss well to coat. Roast until the tomatoes are lightly browned and beginning to give off their juices, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
• For the salad: Arrange the tomatoes on a large platter. Tear the burrata over the top. Scatter the arugula and basil over the top and drizzle with the oil. Finish with the flake salt and black pepper, if desired.

Steps:

• Measure the balsamic vinegar and pour into a saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil over a low heat. Cook it until the balsamic vinegar has reduced to a nice thick glaze (but still pourable), about 15 minutes. Oh and one other thing, your house will stink. But it's a good kind of stink, it's a vinegary stink. Allow the reduction to cool to room temperature before you serve it.
• When you are ready to assemble the salad, cut the tomatoes into thick slices. Arrange them on a platter, alternating them with the mozzarella slices. Tuck the whole basil leaves in between the tomato and cheese slices.
• Drizzle on the gorgeous, almost black balsamic reduction. Then drizzle olive oil in a thin stream over the top. Finally, sprinkle on salt and pepper.
• You need this in your life. Make it today my friends.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place quartered tomatoes in 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil. Arrange tomatoes skin side down. Roast for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Roast for 1 hour.
• In small bowl, stir together remaining 2 tbsp (25 mL) oil and basil. Set aside.
• Arrange mixed greens on large platter. Place warm tomatoes on top of greens. Scatter with mini bocconcini balls. Drizzle with basil mixture. Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve while warm.
