Caprese Salad with Cherry Maters
June 3rd, 2010 Posted in Recipes/Cooking
It’s getting to be that time of year again… mater season! It’s still a little early for my garden (although some are starting to have that red glean to them), but the tomatoes in the market are starting to get a fantastic flavor and sweetness, especially the cherry tomatoes. This, of course, always causes us to run for the basil in the garden and fresh mozzarella… which, by the way, is the Mozzarella that we made ourselves from this kit: 30-Minute Mozzarella & Ricotta Kit.
So this is super easy to make, but here are some basic directions:
Cherry Tomatoes
Fresh Mozzarella
8 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Salt or Seasoning Salt to taste
Slice cherry tomatoes in half and place into a bowl. Salt the tomatoes to taste. Chop up some fresh Mozzarella and add it to the tomatoes. Chiffonade the basil and add it to the bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil and mix everything well.
Enjoy! I know I am right now!
