GRAMMY'S SUMMERTIME CAPRESE SALAD

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large beefsteak tomatoes
  • 1 pkg Belgioso sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • olive oil to drizzle, good quality (can be infused)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • balsamic vinegar, good quality (can be infused)
  • fresh basil leaves, chopped

Method
 

  1. Rinse and dry tomatoes. On cutting board, slice tomatoes into 1/4-1/2 inch slices - discard the ends. Place slices on a pretty tray and top each with a mozzarella slice. Sprinkle with sea salt and coarse ground black pepper, to taste. Top with chopped fresh basil. Drizzle with a yummy olive oil - I sometimes use a garlic-infused olive oil if I have it on hand. Then drizzle with your balsamic vinegar - again, I sometimes use a flavor-infused balsamic, as well, such as garlic or pecan). With the infused choices, you can have fun and be creative! Garnish with basil sprigs on top for a pretty finish! ENJOY!
