Caprese Salad (Pronounced: kaˈpreːze) IS MY FAVORITE!!! YUMMMY! It is a quick, easy and healthy option for a light meal or a quick snack.
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
* 6 cups of arugula salad mix. Arugula is a bitter lettuce and is perfect for this salad.
* 2 cups of basil leaves rolled and sliced. Be very careful basil. It is a delicate herb and easily bruises. It helps to make sure it is completely dry before slicing it.
* 8 ounce fresh mozzarella ball, large cubed.
* 2 large tomatoes, large diced.
* Balsamic vinegar reduction. (Link)
* Salt and pepper to taste.
Note: You can also slice both the tomato and mozzarella depending on the “look” you want to achieve.
Instructions:
Gather 4 plates and assemble the salad as follows:
* Lay out 1/4 of the arugula greens as your base on your plate.
* Lay out 1/4 of the tomatoes on top of the arugula.
* Lay out 1/4 of the mozzarella on top.
* Sprinkle each plate with 1/4 of the basil.
* Drizzle each plate with a tablespoon of the balsamic reduction.
SERVE! ENJOY! |
