Recipe Notes

There is just something magical about the flavors that make up a caprese salad. At its essence the salad is fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil, oil, vinegar, and a bit of salt. The perfect dish for a Summer day when the breeze is light and the sky is impossibly blue. Even in the darkest of winter that feeling of a simple and carefree Summer’s day is all there on a plate.

"I believe in the magic of preparation. You can make just about any foods taste wonderful by adding herbs and spices. Experiment with garlic, cilantro, basil and other fresh herbs on vegetables to make them taste great."
