Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until thick, syrupy, and reduced to about 1/3 cup (about 18-20 minutes). Set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the olives with fresh parsley, anchovies, capers, chopped garlic, basil and olive oil. Season with black pepper (and salt if you desire, be careful the anchovies and capers are salty!).
Step 3
To serve, slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place slightly overlapping on a serving plate. Spoon the olive mixture over the tomatoes. Drizzle the reduced balsamic over the salad and serve.
