Caprese Salad

If you've ever wondered what summer tastes like - this is it!

(well, this and a big slice of watermelon, but today we're focusing on this)

Ingredients:

tomatoes

mozzarella

fresh basil - julienned

salt & pepper

balsamic vinegar

Drizzle just a little balsamic vinegar on a serving plate (not too much, you only want a slight hint of flavor). Slice the tomatoes and place them evenly around the plate. Sprinkle just a little salt & pepper over each tomato. Place a slice of cheese on top of each tomato and sprinkle julienned basil over the entire plate.

Additional Ways to Serve

* instead of julienned basil, just place one basil leaf on top of each mozzarella slice

* chop up the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Place in a bowl and add salt and pepper to taste
