As one might expect, I am truly a meat and potatoes kind of girl. There are exceptions of course, for example Insalata Caprese or Caprese Salad. I will plan an entire meal around this dish! And it’s super easy to make.
Layer sliced tomatoes, sliced mozzarella cheese, and basil. (Normally I layer them overlapping slightly on a plate. I placed them directly on top of each other here for a more interesting photo.)
Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
For a little extra spice we often add a sprinkling of red pepper flakes or drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top.
My favorite summer meal?
Grilled farm fresh hamburgers topped with Gorgonzola cheese, corn on the cob, and Caprese salad. ♥ For me it doesn’t get any better than this!
What’s your favorite summer meal?
This is it! The caprese, as a salad and as a sandwich. Nothing better in the summer!
Amen! I dream of this dish all winter!
