Preparation
Combine vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar and garlic in screw-top jar. Cover and shake well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide dressing in half and set one half aside.
Brush tomato and eggplant slices with half of the dressing and place on preheated barbecue grill. Cook with lid open over medium heat until tomatoes develop grill marks but are still firm (about 3 minutes per side), and eggplant is golden and cooked (about 4 minutes per side). Remove from grill and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
For each serving, layer 1 slice of eggplant, 1 basil leaf, 1 slice of Canadian Mozzarella, another basil leaf, 1 slice of tomato and top with second slice of Canadian Mozzarella. Drizzle each stack with remaining dressing.
