INSALATA CAPRESE I



Insalata Caprese I image

This tastes like the salad that is served at a famous Italian restaurant chain in my area. It's perfect with fresh loaf of crusty bread. For the best flavor be sure to use fresh whole-milk mozzarella it puts the packaged varieties to shame. You can find fresh mozzarella in Italian delis, gourmet markets, cheese shops and some grocery stores.

INSALATA CAPRESE PERFECT FOR SUMMER



Insalata Caprese Perfect for Summer image

Because this salad is so simple, fresh, top quality ingredients are important. Please use home grown tomatoes. If you are not growing your own, go to a local farmers market. Heirloom tomatoes are more expensive, but definitely worthwhile. Please note: this is an adopted recipe and I hope to make it soonest. If you make it before I do, I would appreciate feedback, Thanks ! ZWT REGION: Italy.

CAPRESE SALAD-INSALATA CAPRESE



Caprese Salad-Insalata Caprese image

Homegrown tomatoes, fresh mozzeralla, fresh herbs, Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar. It doesn't get any better than this. The addition of the red onions & sliced olives just seem to enhance the basic Caprese Salad Recipe. Great Lunch now that the tomatoes are in season and readily available. Have with some fresh french bread with some herb butter & something good to drink and "it's all good" :-) I got this recipe from All Recipes and tweaked it a bit. Posting here so I know where it is because it is the closest I have ever came to duplicating this dish the first time I had it.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large fresh tomatoes
16 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, only fresh will do
1/2 small red onion, Sliced Thin
1/2 cup sliced black olives, experiment with different kinds of olives and slice them yourself. Really adds a nice touch
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped I have also used Lemon Basil with good results
1/8 cup fresh oregano
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Slice Mozzarella Cheese into small slices.
  • Slice tomatoes thick. Be sure to remove all of the core and the bottom little black dot.
  • Combine tomatoes and Cheese with the remaining ingredients.
  • Toss Well and make sure everything is coated.
  • Chill for 1 hour ( minimum), although you don't want to leave in the refrigerator too long -- you don't want it to become mushy.
  • When ready to serve, arrange tomatoes on a large platter, put some of the cheese slices/chunks on each tomato slice.
  • Work in olives and onions to make it pretty.
  • Drizzel remaining dressing over this.
  • Garnish with Fresh Basil Leaves and Oregano Leaves.
