Caprese Pagoda

Tomato Mozz salad done Texas style. Over the Top and Out of Control.

Ingredients:

Fresh Large Tomato
Fresh Large Mozzarella(Ovoline)
Fresh washed basil(Small leaves are better)
Grissini(thin bread-sticks)
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper

With such few ingredients and simplicity, using quality foods is neccasary. Don't be a Cheap Skate and buy Pure Oil, If you don't have good EVOO, nows the time. If you've never spent $30 on balsamic, make a trip to Whole Foods. I'm using Trader Joe equivalents that are a quarter the price and only slightly inferior. Fine for me.

Step 1 Prep the stuff

Wash the things, Be sure to dry the basil as best you can. Dry everything as best you can. Keep a dry cutting board and work area. Dry, Dry, Dry.
