Ahh, one of our favorite dishes in the summer; fresh tomatoes, buffala mozzarella, and fresh basil layered together, and then drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper.
Caprese salad is a popular Italian summertime dish. The dish incorporates the colors of the Italian flag, and use the freshest summer ingredients.

This looks so refreshing and light.
Looks like dinner!
makes me want to stop at whole foods on the way home and pick some up....mmmmm
It's super tasty with a slice of mango added to the salad as well. I think I may have to make it for dinner tomorrow with my CSA tomatoes!
I rarely resist when I see a Caprese salad on the menu. The taste is incredible when the tomatoes are at their prime. Enjoy while it lasts.
Wow. Kathryn, we must be on the same wavelength because I just posted on caprese myself!

when I did not have basil, I substituted with cilantro. Another time I just made cilantro infused oil and used that instead.
i've always had it, always prefer, and always use just balsamic vinegar. you don't need anything else.
