Caprese Insalada
A popular summer dish prepared in Italy, Caprese Insalada, is a salad prepared with fresh mozzarella, garden picked tomatoes, fragrant genovese basil, olive oil and a pinch of fresh earthy oregano. Mozzarella di bufala (from buffalo) is Italy's best choice for a quality cheese, and can be found in the states. Use the finest ingredients possible to truly indulge in another simple and tasty salad. Serve with your favorite bread and a glass of white wine, that's a meal in itself.

ReplyDelete...On a hot summer evening, this is the best! The trick is to salt (and pepper) the tomatoes first, I learned, waiting a few minutes before adding the oil and serving.
This put me in the mood for a caprese later today! :-D
Hi Peter, I am glad our taste buds are the same!
