CHOPPED CAPRESE SALAD

Ingredients

• 10 ounces cherry or cherub tomatoes, chopped in half
• 8 ounces whole milk mozzarella, cherry sized. Chopped in half or fourths
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1/2 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• salt and pepper to taste
• (note: you can also add 1 tablespoon of olive oil if you'd like the added flavor, but it's not necessary)

Instructions

1. Add the balsamic vinegar and honey to a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Once it's reduced by approximately half and thickened to your liking (about 10-15 min), remove from the heat. Be careful it doesn't get too thick, but a bit syrupy is good.
2. Toss all ingredients except for the reduction in a bowl. Drizzle with the reduction, adding a little at a time, tossing, tasting, and then adding more to your liking.
3. Enjoy!
