Fresh. That’s how we describe the caprese salad, and making it with fresh ingredients is key! Tomatoes on the vine, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, sea salt, crushed peppercorns, a nice extra virgin olive oil, and (ok, this is obviously not fresh) some aged balsamic vinegar. That’s it. Super simple and delicious! Eating this just feels like summer. I know it’s not (since it’s snowing outside as I write this), but it will get you in the mood for a change of season. Enjoy!

I hope that’s Sorrento Fresh Mozzarella…. I know you only use the best!
You know it is!
What’s your trick to finding great tomatoes in April? Such a hit-or-miss endeavor…
Ha, fresh from the garden would be ideal. But, these are courtesy of Wegmans. I think that’s why I mentioned tomatoes on the vine…..they are just so much better in the off season.
Yumm! My favorite meal ever!
