Here is another great salad that should be eaten with a glass of wine.

Insalata caprese has a few variation, but I wouldn’t stray from the original ingredients of this dish.

Why tamper with perfection.

Whether served for lunch or before dinner, a tomato, basil and mozzarella salad would be a great dish to severe before any Italian meal.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 package of fresh mozzarella cheese
• 20 sprigs of fresh basil

1. Slice tomatoes around a 1/4in. thick.
2. Slice mozzarella cheese 1/4in. thick.
3. Arrange on a serving platter alternating tomatoes and mozzarella.
4. Top with sprigs of fresh basil.
5. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
6. Add salt and pepper.
7. A simple variation of this dish would be to use bocconchini (small round baby mozzarella) and cherry tomatoes.
