Description
A vibrant Italian salad combining ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and a spicy-sweet hot honey glaze. This modern twist balances fire-roasted heat with honey’s natural sweetness for a refreshing summer dish.
Ingredients
6 medium tomatoes
200g fresh mozzarella (ballottine preferred)
0.5 bunch Genovese basil
3 tbsp hot honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Cut mozzarella into 1-inch cubes
Halve tomatoes vertically and remove cores
Pluck basil leaves from stems
Arrange tomatoes on a platter in alternating colors
Place mozzarella cubes between tomato halves
Stack basil leaves artistically over cheese
Pour hot honey into a small bowl to thin slightly
Drizzle equal portions across the entire salad surface
Add balsamic vinegar just before serving
Notes
Use room-temperature mozzarella for better glaze adherence
Thick hot honey drizzles create a more balanced profile
Marinate basil in olive oil for 10 minutes if available
Serve immediately to maintain crispness
