INGREDIENTS
4-5 tomatoes sliced ½-inch thick
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey (optional)

1 large clove garlic, finely minced or crushed
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, plus additional for garnish
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil, plus additional for garnish
1 (16 oz.) log of fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

DIRECTIONS
- To make the marinated tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices and arrange them in a single layer in a large, shallow dish.
- In a jar, combine oil, balsamic, honey, onion, garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Close the lid and shake vigorously to emulsify and pour over the tomatoes in the dish.
- Cover and marinate for 2 to 3 hours on the counter or more in the refrigerator. Before serving, bring the marinated tomatoes to room temperature and garnish with mozzarella and additional chopped fresh herbs. Mix well
Enjoy!
