Caprese Salad.....Too Easy and Delicious!!!

emmyvera

My parents always made this growing up and then I was reminded it of it over the weekend watching Giada on Food Network.

This salad is easy and versatile. The Caprese Salad consists of few ingredients and is light and refreshing. You can eat it alone or put on top of whole grain pasta for more of a meal. I also think it goes with about anything, fish, meat, chicken.

Slice fresh tomatoes and top with fresh mozzarella. Top with fresh basil (or use dried basil in the dressing)
Dressing: Extra Virgin Olive oil, fresh lemon juice, (dried basil if not using fresh leaves) salt and pepper.
I just mix dressing to my taste. 1/4 cup olive oil, half of a lemon, tsp of basil, sprinkle of S&P. That's it!


I made this yesterday and my husband loved it!! It's so light and perfect for summer. It is so flavorful! Great for a snack too!

Hope you enjoy and remember: Sometimes the simplest great ingredients can make the most light and flavorful treats!
