Insalata Caprese

One of my favorite snacks, tomatoes are both tasty and so good for you. Fresh tomato slices sprinkled with a little bit of salt and pepper is definitely a tasty treat…but when I add fresh basil and Mozzarella? Well, that’s a totally different story.

Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella Salad, otherwise known as Insalata Caprese, is one of the simplest and most delicious of salads. There is no cooking involved when it comes to preparing this beautiful, fresh and healthy dish and the best part is that it’s ready in minutes.

This salad is filled with fresh ingredients and it is incredibly light. It’s perfect to serve during the warm summer months that just so happen to be right around the corner.
