Caprese salad

Updated: 2009-03-26 16:42

I wanted to share a picture of a Caprese salad I made last weekend at my Mom’s house. I cut up two vine-ripe tomatoes (one red, one yellow) into slices and layered them between slices of fresh mozzarella. Then I sprinkled fresh basil on top which was fresh from my mom’s basil plant on the porch. To finish, we topped it off with extra virgin olive oil, cracked pepper, and salt. Delicious and super easy to make. Caprese salads are a perfect start to the Spring and Summer.

But, it looked so yummy that we dug into it before I could take a picture!

I also sauteed a huge batch of fresh kale. Look at the mound on the plate! Of course, it looked much smaller once the steam hit it. I used my Easy Greens recipe to make the greens as a side dish for dinner.
