I make this often, and it is often served with Italian dishes at my house, and sometimes as an appetizer. No matter what way I have it, it is always well received and loved!

    This salad is simply divine. Flavorful, healthy, great eye appeal, and easy to make. Summer tomatoes are the way to go with this salad, but I had to use some large Romas. I used fresh basil from my herb garden. I loved the addition of the capers. Thanks, Dawn for sharing your recipe.

    This tasted like a mouthful of summer. We used big, fresh, ripe tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella from the farmer's market and basil from our own yard. This is so easy to put together and we enjoyed it so much. Thanks Dawn!
