I was making my lunch today, after spending the whole morning cleaning up messes, and I looked at it and thought "Summer". I was instantly transported to a beautiful July or early August day up in Canada. I guess it is the smells of the garden fresh basil and the nice juicy, ripe tomatoes that does it.
This is probably my favorite way to eat fresh mozzarella and tomatoes and I know sometimes this is called a "Caprese Salad". I like mine really uncomplicated so I hesitate to call it a Caprese. I like mine with tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella, salt and balsamic vinegar. That's it. No olive oil, no capers, no pepper. Just the bright, light flavors of summer.
As Always...
Happy Entertaining!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Glamah - I love heirloom tomatoes. For some reason though we don't find them here that often!

Hi Pam-How can you not love that combo!
Hey Brittany your time is coming!
Hi Nina - I love the caper-pepper and olive oil thing but over pasta. That is my favorite pasta dish. Just the nice, fresh goodness coming through!
This is one of my favourite salads - I don't usually add balsamic though - it's a really nice touch!
