ITALIAN TOSSED SALAD
From Bellville, Ohio, Gayle Parker sent a snappy recipe for Italian Tossed Salad that pressed-for-time cooks can squeeze into any menu. Simple and colorful, it complements a casual lunch or a fancy holiday dinner, she writes. It's a little different from plain old iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. Canned kidney beans add protein and texture, and the pepperoni and other fixings give it a fresh zesty taste. I belong to a camping club that meets monthly, says Gayle. This salad is easy to prepare in our compact motor home kitchen, so I often take it to our potluck suppers.

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!!!

CAPRESE SALAD
My husband and I love Caprese salad, but not the high prices we pay for it in restaurants. Here, we created our own version which tastes incredibly close, if not better, than any restaurant version we've tried. -Melissa Pearson, Sandy, Utah

RACHAEL RAY'S CAPRESE MEZZA LUNA (ITALIAN QUESADILLA)
Using only the ingredients in the well-known caprese salad (plus a tortilla), Ray comes up with a quesadilla that you will love eating. I made this is a dry skillet (omitting step 1) heating each side of the filled tortilla till it crisped up and showed brown spots. Ray uses quarters of these quesadillas as appetizers. I ate mine as lunch!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a small pot with garlic until it bubbles, simmer a minute. Brush a skillet with garlic oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the first tortilla and blister it 30 seconds, flip and cover half of the surface with arranged layers of mozzarella, basil and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and fold over the quesadilla.
- Cook 30 seconds on each side to set. Remove from pan and repeat. Cut into quarters and serve as appetizers.
ITALIAN FLAG SALAD (CAPRESE)
So elegant and so simple. This is my little adaptation of the classic Caprese salad...everything is the same except that the fresh basil has been replaced by purchased (or homemade if you have it on hand) pesto sauce. I like this version more because I think the salty/garlicky/nutty pesto does more for the other two ingredients.

Steps:
- Make sure you serve this on a white platter!
- Wash and dry the tomatoes.
- Remove the stem and cut into slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick, lengthwise.
- Arrange slices decoratively on platter.
- Drizzle with just the barest amount of olive oil, sprinkle lightly with salt (sea salt is wonderful!) and coarsely ground, FRESH black pepper.
- Cut the mozzarella into slices approximately 1/3 inch thick and arrange 1 slice of cheese per slice of tomato.
- (the mozzarella balls available in Greece are pretty small- maybe 3-4oz).
- What you want is a white slice of cheese just covering the tomato slice, but with the red of the tomato peeking through.
- Dot each mozzarella round with 1/2 to 3/4 tsp of pesto.
- Serve with lots of crusty bread!
