Caprese Salad



It looks like the Italian flag threw up on my plate..and I LOVE it!  This is one of my favorite light meals.  It's simple, cheap, and healthy too.  Mozzarella can be pricey, but I have found a gonga deal for Ovoline Mozzarella at Trader Joe's for $2.99! Wherever you buy it, make sure it is the kind sealed in the salty water.  The mozzarella is SO much fresher and creamier when packaged this way.


Serves: 1
Ingredients:

  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 1 oval mozzarella ball
  • fresh basil, about a handful
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar

Cut the tomatoes and mozzarella, place on plate with the mozzarella down first.  Sprinkle with sea salt & pepper.  Chop the basil roughly and add to the top of the tomatoes.  Drizzle olive oil and vinegar to finish.


Happy Cooking!
