Courtesy of KCStar (my local newspaper). I love Caprese salad....specially the one at Macaroni Grill. I will be making this soon!!! The only thing I would add is balsamic vinegar...but that is because I LOVE IT. It's optional!!!

  • 4 medium tomato (about 1.25 lbs, washed and cored)
  • 1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thinly
  • 5 basil leaves (stacked neatly, rolled into a cylinder n cut into thin ribbons)
  • 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • balsamic vinegar (optional)

    • Directions

    1. 1
      Cut tomatoes into 1/4-in. slices and arrange on a plate, alternating tomatoes with mozzarella slices.
    2. 2
      Scatter basil ribbons over the tomatoes and mozzarella.
    3. 3
      Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
    4. 4
      NOTE: I would add a bit of balsamic vinegar when I serve it on my plate because it's like the one at Macaroni and Grill.
