Mia Sebastiani at Sonoma Markets after our SSC shoot on preparing Caprese Salad spiced up with a balsamic reduction.

A couple of weeks back, I caught up with Mia Sebastiani at Sonoma Market to discuss how to add flare to a spring and summer time favorite, Caprese Salad. Using juice heirloom tomatoes, Burrata cheese instead of plain mozzarella, and a balsamic reduction from her Mia’s Kitchen line, we were able to make a dish that flew off the plate as quickly as we were able to conjure it up.

To find out how you can create this fabulous dish, check out the video here.

Here are some behind-the-scenes photo from the video shoot. I made the fantastic discovery of Burrata thanks to Mia.

Heirloom tomatoes and Buratta cheese...yum!
The support crew waiting on the side. Ready to cheer us on and help with the clean up...including eating the Caprese Salad.

It didn't take too long after making the salad for folks to come around for a taste test.
