Caprese Salad
Almost too simple of a salad recipe to actually have a recipe for....but hey, we love this salad, and this recipe is a great reminder.
Ingredients
- Ripe red tomatoes (how many you need depends on how many you are serving for). A good rule of thumb is 1 large tomato per person.
- Fresh mozzarella cheese (you need the same amount of cheese as tomatoes, so just eyeball this one at the store).
- Fresh basil leaves (enough so each bite gets a basil leave)
- Sea salt
- optional: a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic
Directions
- Slice the tomatoes in 1/4-1/2 inch slices.
- Slice the mozzarella in equally thick slices as the tomatoes.
- Pick the basil leaves from the stem.
- Arrange them as such: Tomato, then basil leaf, then mozzarella.
- Repeat until ingredients are used up.
- Sprinkle with seasalt
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic if using.
