For an enhanced flavor profile, use high-quality balsamic vinegar and fresh buffalo mozzarella. The balsamic reduction can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Experiment with different types of tomatoes, such as Roma or cherry tomatoes, for variety. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use a basil-infused olive oil for added flavor.
