Caprice Salad
Ingredients
- tomatoes , sliced-preferably a variety of colors & enough to fill up your crew
- fresh mozzarella , sliced – a few slices less than you have of the tomatoes
- basil , chiffonade (look that up, it’s a handy thing to know)
- olive oil , good quality organic
- balsamic vinegar , same here – trust me, it is worth paying extra
- Sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Starting with your fanciest plate or platter (why do you have them if you don’t use them?), place a layer of tomatoes on the bottom. Lightly salt & pepper.
- Layer the mozzarella on the tomatoes and sprinkle with some of the basil, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Continue layering until you’ve used all of your tomatoes.
- Snack on any remaining cheese bits or tomato ends while you allow the salad to sit at room temperature for a little while. Enjoy as a side or as a main course with some good bread
