Caprese Salad

I had a version of this recipe on the blog last summer, but couldn't resist changing it a little this year.  Instead of the traditional look, I decided to stack it up. So simple, yet beautiful and so fresh tasting. Perfect light supper on these sweltering summer nights we're all enduring right now.

Sliced mozzarella cheese

Sliced ripe tomatoes

Fresh basil leaves

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

olive oil

balsamic or red wine vinegar

Layer cheese, tomatoes, basil. Add salt & pepper and drizzle on some olive oil. Add a splash of vinegar and you're ready to dig in. Simplicity at its finest.
