Quick Caprese Salad

I've given you the Traditional Caprese Salad Recipe. This is the quick version, and honestly, it's the one I usually use. 



 Quick Caprese Salad

  • 2 # of a variety of excellent homegrown tomatoes
  • 12 oz. fresh mozzarella balls
  • fresh basil
  • really good olive oil
  • balsamic glaze
  • fresh ground salt and pepper.


Slice or chunk the tomatoes (if you have grape or cherry tomatoes, you don't even have to do that). Put the tomatoes in your serving dish, and sprinkle some salt on them. Chop the basil (which is really easy with herb scissors). Add the basil and mozzarella balls to the tomatoes. Toss lightly. Drizzle with lots of olive oil and balsamic glaze. Add pepper and salt to taste.
