Congratulations Jenn for getting into MBA school. As a celebration, I told her I would cook her something, and lo and behold she requested a salad…boring right? Well she also requested to have mozzarella cheese incorporated some how, so I immediately thought of a caprese salad. Now I have never made a caprese salad before, but was shocked how simple it really is. It’s not exactly my fave salad though, so maybe thats why. But interestingly enough, I told my sister what I was doing and she said she LOVED caprese salad…who knew? Definitely not me lol.  Anyways here it is!

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb Mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 3 tomatoes on a vine, sliced
• Fresh basil
• Salt
• Fresh cracked pepper
• EVOO

Directions

• Layer the slices of cheese and tomatoes with a basil leaf in between
• Sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper
• Drizzle EVOO over
• You can also add balsamic vinegar or a reduction to the dish but I chose not to
• Eat this super refreshing salad
