    List of Ingredients




    Fresh Mozzarella Salad With Sangiovese Vinaigrette

    Makes 4 servings


    8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 thin slices
    2 beefsteak tomatoes, each cut into 6 slices
    12 large basil leaves
    ¼ cup Sangiovese Vinaigrette

    Sangiovese Vinaigrette

    ¾ cup Sangiovese or other medium-bodied, high-acid red wine
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    1 clove garlic, minced
    ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
    2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

    1 teaspoon packed brown sugar, or to taste
    ½ teaspoon mustard powder
    ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
    ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste


    Recipe



    Freshly ground pepper for garnish

    On each of 4 salad plates arrange the cheese slices, tomato slices, and basil leaves alternately in an overlapping row. Drizzle each salad with about 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and sprinkle with pepper.

    Sangiovese Vinaigrette

    Bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the wine is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and garlic; continue to simmer until the garlic has softened, about 1 more minute.

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

    Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 1 week. Whisk or shake before using
