Fresh Caprese Salad


Fresh Caprese Salad

Fresh tomatoes are one of the best things about summer! We are growing tomatoes in the garden and I can't wait for them to be ripe enough for some yummy caprese salad! This salad is super light, refreshing and perfect for those hot summer days! Yum!

Ingredients:
2 Roma tomatoes
1 log fresh mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1. Cut tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Discard stem and butt of tomatoes. Cut mozzarella into 1/2 inch thick slices. Slice basil into thin ribbons for garnish. 
2. Arrange tomatoes and mozzarella on plate, alternating between tomatoes and cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic. Top with basil, salt, and pepper. 
3. Cover and chill in fridge for about 20-30 minutes to allow flavors to integrate! Enjoy!
