Pardon the poor picture quality, this was taken on my phone. At work. BECAUSE AMERICA! And let's be real - I don't have an SLR camera at home anyway so this is about as good as it gets.
ANYHOO, just wanted to share a super quick and easy snack that I LOVE. As you can tell from the glorious photo above, this is basically a dumb downed version of a caprese salad. No basil. The balsamic isn't reduced just poured on. But it's light, filling, and a great mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. Here's what you'll need:
- 1 medium roma tomato (I got mine local. For me, I would MUCH rather have local over organic)
- 1-1.5oz fresh mozzarella (I got mine from Aldi)
- 1-2 tsp balsamic vinegar, depending on your preference and size of your tomato
- 1-2 tsp extra virgin olive oil (I think we have Star at the house but it honestly doesn't make a difference)
- Salt + Pepper to taste
- Slice your tomato to your desired thickness. I like to end up with an even number of slices to make the mozzarella cutting easier (This is also called OCD)
- Cut a slice of mozzarella about 1/4" thick
- Salt and pepper tomato if desired
- Cut that slice into 4-6 smaller slices depending on how many slices you got out of your tomato
- Place them sweetly on top of your tomato
- Drizzle oil and vinegar on top. Since I packed this snack for work, mine was in a container so mine was shaken together
Voila! Delicious snack with super low calories! For those health conscious folks like me, here are your nutrition specs*:
