My new take on Caprese Salad is an adaptation from our favorite Tahoe local Italian restaurant: Capisce? Everything is bigger! Big slices of fresh tomato, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil… yum!
How to Make It
It’s simple and quick to make. I even get the pre-sliced fresh mozzarella and the fresh/partially dried chopped basil from Safeway, which totally cuts down on the time to make. Layer slices of tomato and cheese. Mix about 2 parts chopped basil with one part olive oil and drizzle over the tomatoes and cheese. Then sprinkle your favorite balsamic vineger to taste. Finish with some freshly ground salt and pepper. We love this dish as a Spring/Summer side.
