In Italy this is called a "Caprice" Salad. It's one of my favorite and yes fresh mozzarella and fresh basil is a must. Best in the summer when all those vine ripened tomatoes are in season. Very simple, very tasty!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 tomatoes, each cut into 6 slices
- 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 slices
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
METHOD
1 Arrange 4 tomatoes slices and 2 mozzarella slices on each of 6 salad plates. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper; drizzle with oil. Top evenly with basil.
Summer is tomato and basil season, and there is nothing better than tomatoes with fresh basil from the garden and fresh mozzarella cheese. Always a hit.
