Caprese Spoon Salad


Elegant, sophisticated, SIMPLE! Although this little salad is popping with flavor it literately takes no more then 10 minutes to toss together. I've brought it as a side dish to many friends homes. Always gets rave reviews. No measurements required, make as little or as much as needed for your occasion- you will want to avoid leftovers.

Grape Tomatoes, cut in half
Fresh Mozzarella, cubed
Fresh Basil, julienned
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
White Balsamic

Place in a nice serving bowl: Use about 1/2 tomatoes and half mozzarella. Enough basil for freshness and color. Lightly coat in olive oil. Sprinkle with white balsamic.

**normally Caprese is "layered"- this "spoon" version make a great dish to bring to a potluck, or friends home for dinner. Light and bursting with flavor.
