Gluten-Free Capri Salad *Great for Holiday Gatherings

Ingredients:

2 large tomatoes

Fresh basil

1/2 pound Mozzarella di Bufala di Campania (soft mozzarella cheese)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Using a bread knife, slice tomatoes thickly into 1/2-inch slices. Select soft mozzarella cheese packaged in water so it remains moist and flavorful (don’t use hard-packed mozzarella for pizza topping.)

Carefully slice the mozzarella cheese 1/2 inch pieces. Place the mozzarella on top of the tomato and add a sprig of freshly washed basil.

At this point, you can drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and serve. Or if preparing ahead of time, refrigerate on individual plates and drizzle olive oil on top just before serving.

Use one generous tomato slice per serving.

Enjoy!
