Courtesy of KCStar (my local newspaper). I love Caprese salad....specially the one at Macaroni Grill. I will be making this soon!!! The only thing I would add is balsamic vinegar...but that is because I LOVE IT. It's optional!!! Ingredients:
4 medium tomatoes (about 1.25 lbs, washed and cored) |
1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thinly |
5 basil leaves (stacked neatly, rolled into a cylinder n cut into thin ribbons) |
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
salt and pepper |
balsamic vinegar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut tomatoes into 1/4-in. slices and arrange on a plate, alternating tomatoes with mozzarella slices.
2. Scatter basil ribbons over the tomatoes and mozzarella.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. NOTE: I would add a bit of balsamic vinegar when I serve it on my plate because it's like the one at Macaroni and Grill.
