Tomato Stack with Mozzarella and Sweet Garlic Vinaigrette

this is a simple easy but "showy" recipe that will impress all your friends. If you don't have any friends then impress your mother.

ingredients:

a variety of garden fresh tomatoes, heirloom, what ever looks good.

fresh mozzarella, goat cheese

basil , micro greens, sundried tomatoes, lemon, baby arugula

Sweet Garlic Vinagrette

Slice the tomatoes and the mozzarella in nice thick layers and begin to stack starting with the denser of the tomatoes. between each layer place a whole leaf of basil and drizzle with the Vinagrette. (That recipe is in a previous post) Continue stacking until you get a nice rich, beautiful presentation.

Make a small salad of micro greens, basil, marinated sundried tomatoes and goat cheese, toss with lemon and a little of the Vinagrette and use the salad as a garnish.

This is a great first course also served with a chilled shot of Heirloom tomato seviche.
