caprese salad

tomatoes
soft mozzarella
fresh basil leaves
extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar
salt/pepper


there are lots of ways to make an impressive presentation for this salad; here I opted for the 'messy pile' approach. You can get creative; soft mozzarella comes in lots of shapes and sizes. as a potluck idea you can skewer one cherry tomato, one baby boccocini and one basil leaf on each toothpick, then drizzle with oil and vinegar.

make sure the basil you have is really fresh. also, good quality oil/vinegar makes a big difference.
