Caprese is an Italian classic. Make this in summer with fresh tomatoes, and it is pure bliss.

Ingredients

• 1 large tomato
• 1 large fresh mozzarella
• 10 leaves of fresh basil very coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Slice the mozzarella and tomato into equal numbers of slices.
2. Place slices on a serving plate in alternating order – One tomato then one
   mozzarella, etc.
3. Place slices so that the new slice lays a bit on top of
   the slice before, perhaps 1/3 of the new slice on top of the previous.
4. Add the basil on top, then sprinkle olive oil, salt and pepper….So delicious, so classic
