Caprese Salad


This is SO incredibly easy to make, and your friends will be delightfully impressed with the flavor and presentation. I've not included measurments, as it depends upon how many you are serving. This can as easily be prepared for one person as it can for ten.

Ingredients:

Room temperature fresh tomatoes (I like the Campari tomatoes at Costco. They're on the smaller side and they have a fresh vine ripened flavor)

Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

Fresh Basil

Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

Cut the Campari tomatoes into fourths

Cut the Mozzarella cheese into bite size chunks

Toss the cheese and tomatoes together.

Slice the basil into long shreds. (I do this by rolling the basil leaves together and then cutting across the width of them.)

Sprinkle the basil over each individual serving.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.
