One of our favorite ways to use FARM fresh tomatoes and basil is in this caprese salad. It takes no time at all to throw together and it makes for a great side to nearly any meal.

INGREDIENTS: 

-       1 ½ cups of chopped mozzarella cheese

-       3 medium tomatoes, chopped

-       6 basil leaves, chopped

-       Balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Combine cheese, tomatoes and basil. Drizzle with balsamic and crack fresh pepper and salt.

NOTE: This dish is great when prepared ahead of time or as leftovers, just be sure to cover it while it’s being refrigerated, otherwise the cheese has a tendency to dry out.

Enjoy!
