Provided by Andy Baraghani

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings
1 garlic clove, finely grated
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 baguette, split in half lengthwise
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cups cherry tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (packed) torn basil leaves
1/2 cup (loosely packed) parsley leaves with tender stems
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
Crushed red pepper flakes (for serving)

Steps:

Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl; season with salt.
Toss shallot, garlic, and vinegar in another small bowl; season with salt. Let sit 10 minutes. Drain, reserving shallots and vinegar separately in small bowls.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Brush cut sides of bread with 2 Tbsp. oil total and grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. (Or broil bread halves, cut side up, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes.) Season with salt; let cool.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high (you can do this directly on the grill grates or on a burner). Toss tomatoes with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and cook, shaking pan often, until tomatoes are blistered and lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes to bowl with reserved vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly, then add basil, parsley, and lemon zest and toss gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Spread both halves of baguette with mayonnaise mixture. Top with mozzarella, tomato salad, and shallots, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Mayonnaise can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

CAPRESE SALAD

Caprese Salad image

"Salad of Capri" is a wonderful yet simple salad made by layering seasonal tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves. It is traditionally flavored with fine olive oil and a little salt to preserve the pure flavors of its fresh ingredients (my personal favorite). You can also use a lite balsamic vinaigrette instead. Either way, finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. You will be amazed with the magic balsamic glaze brings to this dish.

Provided by Peter Steriti

Categories Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 -5 flavor intense seasonal tomatoes
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese
30 fresh basil leaves
1/4 tablespoon fine olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup balsamic glaze (homemade or store bought)

Steps:

Core and cut tomatoes vertically into 1/4 inches' thick slices. If not pre-sliced, cut fresh mozzarella into 18 equal slices.
Assemble (using the largest diameter slices first), place one slice of tomatoes on each plate followed by a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf. Repeat, by adding another slice of tomatoes, a basil leaf and another slice of cheese, basil and tomatoes, etc.
Spoon a light coating of olive oil and very lightly salt. Finish with healthy drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Important, use fresh mozzarella in brine sold either at the deli counter or in vacuum sealed packages. Fresh mozzarella is not the same as "Buffalo Mozzarella". True Italian Buffalo Mozzarella is traditionally made from buffalo milk. It is sold as "Mozzarella di Bufala Campana" and is certified and protected. It is also welcomed in this salad.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the bread in half lengthwise, then stack it back together and slice it down the middle to form two large sandwiches, or again to make 4 small. Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Bake for 5 minutes, or until warmed through and turning lightly golden around the edges.
In the meantime, prepare the creamy basil sauce*: In a food processor, blitz the roughly chopped garlic to chop it more finely. Scrape down the sides, then add the mayo, basil, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, then set aside.
To assemble the sandwiches, lightly drizzle balsamic and olive oil over half of the cut sides of bread. Layer some arugula on top, then weigh it down with rounds of mozzarella. Top with the sliced tomato, then sprinkle the tomato lightly with flaky salt.
Spread the basil sauce generously over the cut side of the remaining slices of bread. Place them face down over the tomatoes. Enjoy.
