Smoked Mozzarella Salad

WHEN MOST PEOPLE THINK OF SMOKERS, IMAGES OF BEEF AND PORK FLASH THROUGH THEIR MINDS. WELL NOT ALL SMOKED ITEMS NEED TO BE HEAVY OR FATTY. THIS QUICK, FRESH SALAD MIGHT JUST CHANGE WHAT YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD SMOKER.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups Mesclun Greens
1Lb Smoked Mozzarella (See Smoked Cheese)
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Reduction
1 Tablespoon Truffle Oil
2 Tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to Taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Smoke the mozzarella with apple wood chips.
  2. Dress the greens with truffle oil and season
  3. Plate the balsamic and tomatoes
  4. Place the cheese on top and make a nest of greens

What really sets this recipe off is the smoked mozzarella.  The sweet and tangy balsamic reduction, the smoky cheese and the earthy greens made for some amazingly complex and delicious dish.
