Ingredients
- 2 tomatoes (about the size of plums) washed, dried, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 sweet onion (Maui, Vidalia or Walla Wallas)* peeled and sliced very thinly
- 10 large basil leaves, washed and dried
- 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese,
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Arrange tomatoes and onions. Alternating between the tomato and onion slices, arrange them on a round plate. Add a basil leaf here and there between them, and then sprinkle the blue cheese over the top.
- Reduce the vinegar. Add the balsamic vinegar to a very small sauté pan and place it over medium-high heat. Cook until it thickens and reduces by about half.
- Assemble. Drizzle the reduced balsamic and grind a bit of the salt pepper over the tomatoes and onions and serve.
Notes
* If you can't find any of the sweet onions listed (Maui, Vidalias or Walla Wallas), use a red onion. They are typically on the sweet side year round.
