I had a lot of basil to use and I believe a Caprese Salad is both really enjoyable and also looks really pretty when you mix in different color tomatoes. Â As I grow in my cooking, the visual appeal of the food has grown equally. Â Using red and yellow tomatoes offers a very appealing presentation for this traditional side dish.
Though the recipe is very simple, it is important to use high quality, fresh ingredients.
Recipe
Caprese Salad:
- Slice reasonably thin 4 slices each of red and yellow tomatoes
- Slice 4 pieces of fresh mozzarella and cut in half
- Grab an equal number of basil leaves and cut each leave in half
- Assemble by using a tomato slice as the base, top first with a piece of mozzarella and then top with a basil leave; Â finish by drizzling with olive oil.
This is just gorgeous. The photo is mouthwatering!
