Summer Tomato Caprese Salad

 

I have a small garden in my home in Boise , Idaho . It gets hot here and it is really nice to make a light nutritious meal from the things I have grown. I especially like my tomatoes and fresh basil.
Try this salad :
Slice two whole red tomatoes into 1/4"slices
Slice two different varieties of tomato to add color ( I use yellow cherry tomatoes and orange tomatoes )
Drizzle olive oil and herbs on the bottom of a dinner plate
Arrange single tomato slices on the plate
Top with a fresh basil leaf
Put fresh cut mozzarella slices on top
Drizzle again with olive oil and herbs and a little balsamic.
Add some fresh ground pepper and enjoy !
