Caprese Salad


Caprese Salad
While this picture is cute, it isn't quite complete. I snapped the picture before I put on the balsamic reduction or salt and pepper. Truth be known. The balsamic was not reducing quick enough (for my taste :-) ) and I was getting frustrated so I snapped this pretty picture. Then Steve kicked up the heat for me on the reduction and it turned out perfectly in the end. Caprese salad is a traditional Italian salad with tomato, fresh mozzerella and basil. It is the color of the flag of Italy which is really fun! I have had it many ways, with balsamic, on a crustini, with just olive oil and salt and pepper. So, I'm not sure what the traditional method of serving this is, but last night's was a tasty version.
