Caprese Salad

This year I have an abundance of tomatoes fresh from the garden.  This salad is my absolute favorite summer tomato recipe.  Here’s a short list of what you’ll need to make this delicious salad:

• 4-5 Fresh Tomatoes
• Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
• 5-7 fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper

Chop tomatoes into bite sized chunks and sprinkle with salt and pepper (to taste) next drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.   Add coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves and fresh mozzarella chopped into small chunks. Mix to coat evenly, add more salt and pepper if desired.  Enjoy!  I’ve eaten this healthy and delicious salad as a quick lunch and served as a side for dinner.  I love this with grilled steak.
