Caprese Salad 3 ways

I love caprese salad and lately I have been playing around with it. I decided to plant some basil on our deck this year and it has been so fun! We use it all the time and it grows like crazy, we can’t eat it fast enough! Lord knows how much we have saved since buying fresh basil at the store can be quite expensive. Here are three ways to make it.

Traditional Caprese salad

  • Mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh tomatoes, sliced
  • Fresh basil
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar

Caprese Kabob

  • Grape tomatoes
  • Mozzarella balls
  • Fresh basil
  • Olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dressing
  • Wooden kabob stick
