I use to hate tomatoes. Now, thanks to Mazarros, I crave tomato and mozzarella with fresh basil. Saturday afternoons at this great St. Petersburg landmark are quickly becoming a tradition for us. Another tradition is making a no stress version of this great italian appetizer.
Mazzaro’s Italian Market in Saint Petersburg, Florida
Line a platter with alternating slices of ripe red roma tomatoes and fresh mozarella cheese.
Cut thin strips of fresh basil and add randomly over the tomatoes and cheese.
Drizzle thin line of balsalmic reduction or glaze.
The result is fabulous and so perfect for the holidays. Beautiful white, green and red. It also makes a great side dish with any meal.
