Insalata Caprese (Salad in the Style of Capri)


Recipe from: Maceys Ad July 11th, 2008

A Fresh Look at: Cluster Tomatoes
"Cluster Tomatoes are simply tomatoes sold on the vine. They are a great source of vitamins C & A. Select fragrant, blemish-free tomatoes that are heavy for their size and have a bright, even color. Ripe tomatoes will yield slightly to pressure. Tomatoes are delicious raw or cooked."

Prep: 10 min/ Total Time: 10 min/ Makes: 4 servings
3 large tomatoes, sliced
1 package (9oz) fresh mozzarella cheese (6 balls), drained, sliced
1/3 cup fresh basil
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon of each: salt and freshly ground black pepper

Arrange tomatoes and cheese alternately on a platter. Top with basil. Beat oil and vinegar with wire whisk until well blended. Drizzle over tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
