CAPRESE SALAD
Serves 6 to 8
INGREDIENTS –
6 small tomatoes (or 4 medium)
1 pound fresh mozzarella
10 to 15 basil leaves
olive oil to drizzle
balsamic vinegar to drizzle
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS –
Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella and arrange with basil leaves on a large platter. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve at room temperature.
*For Valentine’s Day I cut out the mozzarella with heart shaped cookie cutters. You can also buy cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls and put on a skewer for a different presentation.
**If you don’t like balsamic vinegar, just dress with olive oil.
