Caprese Salad Recipe
• 1# Fresh Mozzarella
• Fresh Basil
• Tomato
• Olive Oil
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Oregano (hubby could not resist)
• Fresh Ground Pepper
Directions
• Cut the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes uniformly.
• Strip the vein from the fresh basil (I cut them out in a V).
• In a circle, layer tomatoes, basil, mozzarella until the circle is complete.
• Drizzle olive oil over circle, sprinkle balsamic vinegar, and grind fresh pepper over the top.
• While oregano is not normally used, hubby insists on giving the plate a sprinkle.
Hubby puts this together every summer get-together at our house, and it is always a big hit!

Perfect ingredients-for a perfect combination.
I’m so glad that fresh mozzarella is becoming more common in markets across America.
Do you have a favorite balsamic vinegar? Those aged vinegars are EXPENSIVE and what do you think about those concentrated balsamic glazes?
Barbee, I don’t have a favorite. I have yet to use a concentrated glaze… how’s that worked for you?
Ann
I bought a bottle of the concentrate ages ago and have only used it a couple of times.
I make a caramelized onion and swiss cheese tart that calls for vinegar in finishing the onions. I like it.
Good thing it keeps forever-not a whole bunch of uses.
One of my favorite ultimate salads!!
Mine too, Didi!
Ann
This is one of my all time favorite combos!! Plus, it’s fanned out, and swirled to perfection :o)
