Plum Caprese Salad

Plums are a slightly sweeter stand-in for tomatoes, and research shows they have compounds that may help fight metabolic syndrome, a condition related to obesity, and chronic inflammation in the body.


2 cups balsamic vinegar
4 Tbsp honey
8 plums, pitted and sliced into 8 pieces each
1/2 cup fresh basil
8 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

1. Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, until the vinegar thickens into a syrup.

2. Layer plum slices, basil, and mozzarella in a circle on a plate. Drizzle with vinegar-honey glaze and serve.
