Roasted tomato and mozzarella salad

Many people have had tomato and mozzarella salad before and it was cold. I always think it looks delicious, but I am not a fan of cold tomatoes.

A few weeks ago I thought… Why not make it in the oven?? I have a small love for roasted tomatoes. However, I cannot stand cold tomatoes, but if you stick them in the oven for a few minutes… I am in love! 😉

My husband and I devoured the entire pan all by ourselves. It was love at first bite! Our kids were not a fan, but we loved it.

How to make roasted tomato and mozzarella salad:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Slice the tomatoes into approximately ½ inch thick slices. Put the tomato slices on a baking sheet, season them with the salt and pepper and top with the balsamic vinegar.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.

Prepare the balsamic reduction by heating the balsamic vinegar and the brown sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat.

Whisk until the brown sugar is dissolved and then heat until the sauce is reduced in half and thickened (approximately 8-10 minutes).

Then slice the mozzarella into approximately 1/2″ thick slices and slice the fresh basil leaves.
