Thursday Recipes: Caprese Salad

8/4/2011

The weather is still in triple digits here. Which means cold salads have become a dinnertime staple. Our absolute favorite salad uses some of the bounty of our garden - fresh tomatoes in a mouthwatering Caprese Salad. Super simple and super good.

Caprese Salad

4-5 large red tomatoes, chopped
1 ball mozzarella, cut in 1" chunks
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
dash salt
dash pepper

Combine all in a large bowl and mix well. Refrigerate before serving if desired.
