Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh mozzarella slices
- 4 oranges* sliced into citrus rounds
- 3 heirloom tomatoes sliced into rounds
- 1/2 C balsamic vinegar
- 1 paige tangerine for juice
- 1 bunch fresh basil
Instructions
-
Heat the balsamic vinegar and juice from 1 small tangerine over medium heat until it starts bubbling, then reduce heat to medium-low until it thickens but be careful that it doesn’t burn. If you dip a spoon in it and drizzle the balsamic back into the pan and it has a thick syrup-like consistency instead of a watery consistency, then you are done. Be careful not to burn it (I have made this mistake many many times!) Take off the heat and set aside.
-
Arrange the orange slices, heirloom tomato slices, basil and mozzarella on a platter. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top.
Recipe Notes
* can be a mix and match of your faves, I used a combo of blood oranges, cara caras, and navel oranges
