Hasselback Caprese Salad

 

Hasselback Caprese Salad

(6 servings)

Ingredients:

6 medium to large Roma Tomatoes

8 oz. pkg. Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

24 to 30 large Fresh Basil Leaves

12-inch square Heavy Foil

as needed Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:

Make a pan out of heavy foil and set aside.  Cut a thin slice off the tops of the tomatoes to remove stem end.  Laying the tomatoes on their sides, slice ¼ inch intervals stopping about a ½ inch from going all the way through.  Cut the fresh mozzarella into ¼ inch thick slices.  Clean basil and start alternating the cheese and basil between the slices in the tomatoes.  Set up your grill for indirect heat cooking with heat on medium-high.  Place foil pan on the indirect heat side and fill with the prepared tomatoes.  Grill for 10-minutes or until cheese begins to melt.  Do this with the lid closed.  Remove tomatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and serve.

Notes:              You can also do this recipe in your indoor oven.  Place the foil pan on a rimmed baking sheet and a pre-heated 400-degree oven for the same time frame as the grill.
