Caprese Salad

 

Ingredients for 1 Caprese salad:

1 ripe tomato,
4 slices buffalo mozzarella cheese
or 2 balls baby bocconcini (sliced),
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil,
2 teaspoons basil pesto sauce,
pinch fresh basil, chopped,
little spring mix salad,
salt and freshly ground
black pepper to taste.

Recipe:

1. Prepare a canapé from the spring mix salad and put over it 4 round slices or 8 half slices of the tomato.

2. Season the tomato to taste and drizzle with olive oil.

3. Put the cheese on top and garnish with little pesto and a leaf of fresh basil.

For an additional twist you can try some walnut oil.

This salad is very tasty and elegant, and suitable for a party platter. It can even be prepared a few hours in advance of serving.
