Nothing says summer to me like fresh Caprese salad. Fresh tomatoes are one of my favorite parts of summer. I'm so happy to fresh tomatoes growing on my patio this summer - and that they are actually growing! I have several waiting to rippen and lots more buds ready to grow. I also have an eggplant, jalapenos, basil, thyme, cilantro and chives.
The best part of a Caprese salad is that they are so simple!
- Slice a fresh ripe tomato
- Sprinkle tomato with sea salt & pepper
- Top with slices of fresh mozzarella
- Drizzle with aged balsamic and a litte evoo
- Top with fresh basil from your garden
- Enjoy!
