Feedback of Caprese Salad with Balsamic Reduction Recipes
This was so delicious, and easy!
Good recipe otherwise -- but the instructions for the reduction are WAY off. The first time I tried to reduce it to a third; by the time it had cooled it was a solid. This time, I just heated it only until the volume had perceptibly declined, then turned it off. It's cooled now -- and about what it should be.
I loved it so much, I'm going to make at least twice a week until the Michigan tomatoes are gone.
This was so delicious! I never did a vinegar reduction. I simmered it for about 10 minutes. I forgot the honey but really didn’t need it. I think the vinegar reduction was sweet enough and the flavor was amazing. I think the honey would’ve ruined it. Use fresh ingredients- I make this every summer from basil and tomatoes from the garden. But this is the first time I used the reduction and I will always from now on. In fact the flavor is so amazing I will use this reduction for other things too!!
The balsamic reduction is very sweet but good. The olive oil helps to balance the sweetness with the salt and pepper. I used Mexican Oaxaca cheese which is like mozzarella.
Best caprese salad I’ve probably ever had
I loved it! So yummy!
I've made this several times! Love it!
Like others said, with a higher quality vinegar, it takes maybe double the time to actually reduce. But in the end the taste is definitely worth it!
