Caprese Salad

• 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar (see note)
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 tsp. Dijon mustard
• salt & pepper to taste
• 0.5 lb. mozarella ball
• 0.5 cucumber, peeled and sliced very thin
• 2 nice ripe tomatoes with lots of flavour
• 1 dozen nice Basil leaves

Mix the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together, then add the oil and whisk to blend.

If you have a mandoline, use that to slice the cucumber as thinly as you can, otherwise, do your best.

Line each diner's salad bowl with cucumber slices, then add thin slices of mozzarella and top with decoratively cut sections or slices of tomato.

Drizzle with dressing and adorn with torn basil leaves.

This is enough for two. Multiply as needed.
