1 Prepare the Ingredients
Halve mozzarella. Stem basil, stack leaves, roll into a long cylinder, and slice lengthwise to create very thin strips. Mince garlic. Halve baguettes lengthwise. Heat grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
-
2 Make the Garlic Vinaigrette
Stir together garlic, Champagne vinegar, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside to let flavors marry.
-
3 Toast the Pine Nuts
Place a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Add pine nuts to hot pan and stir often until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. As soon as nuts smell toasted, immediately remove from pan to avoid burning.
-
4 Toast the Baguettes
Spray cut side of each baguette half with cooking spray. Place on grill or grill pan, cut side down, and toast until lightly charred, 1-3 minutes.
-
5 Grill and Crush the Tomatoes
Spray grill or grill pan with cooking spray. Place grape tomatoes on grill and cook until slightly charred and softened, 2-4 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to another mixing bowl and gently crush. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and stir.
-
6 Finish the Dish
Build tartines by placing a serving of charred tomatoes and mozzarella on a toasted baguette half. Drizzle each tartine with 1 tsp. vinaigrette and garnish with basil and pine nuts. Toss spinach with remaining vinaigrette and serve salad on the side.
