Gary’s Garden Caprese Salad

Byadmin

Perfect for Mother’s Day. There are two versions, and you can grow the tomatoes and basil in your garden. Make your own mozzarella from Gary’s recipe for a truly homemade dish!

Appetizer Size:
Place a circular slice of mozzarella, top with one large round slice of a tomato, then cover with a few basil leaves. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the caprese salad.

Bite Size:
Place a bite size piece of mozzarella at the bottom of a toothpick, then one basil leaf, then one cherry tomato at the top. Include as many of these bite size pieces as you like. Drizzle balsamic vinegar all over the bottom of the plate for dipping.
