Tomato and Mozzarella Salad

This is a traditional Caprese Salad with a little bit of a twist in that it uses a nice red wine vinaigrette instead of the traditional balsamic vinegar and olive oil to dress it.

Serves 4:

1 1/4 pounds Tomatoes, sliced
1/2 pound Fresh mozzarella , sliced
4 fluid ounces Vinaigrette (made with red wine vinegar)
Salt, as needed
1/4 ounce Basil, chiffonade
Black peppercorns, as needed, cracked

Place the tomatoes and mozzarella slices alternately on a plate and drizzle the vinaigrette over the top.

Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.

Garnish with the basil and pepper.
