Caprese salad





Tomatoes are starting to show up everywhere now and this has long been my favorite way to enjoy them. I don't think there's anything that says summer quite like a caprese. Simple and oh-so-delicious! The best part of course, is snacking on the ingredients while you assemble the salads. 


Caprese salad
A few lusciously ripe heirloom tomatoes
Fresh basil
A hunk of fresh buffalo mozzarella
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste


Slice the tomatoes and the cheese into rounds. Roll and slice the basil leave into ribbons (or tuck whole leaves between the cheese and tomato slices). Give a generous seasoning with salt and freshly cracked pepper and drizzle with the oil and vinegar.
