Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil drizzled with a sweet balsamic reduction and olive oil. Easy, impressive and delicious! Most grocery stores now sell prepared balsamic reductions. Surprisingly it's just as good!

This Caprese salad with balsamic reduction was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil were perfectly complemented by the sweet and tangy balsamic reduction. I will definitely be making this again soon.
