One of my family’s favorite dishes is caprese. Caprese is an Italian word that means "from Capri" (an island off the western mainland of Italy).
It is light enough to be a snack or appetizer, but can easily parlay into dinner. The ingredients
are simple: tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, and olive oil. There are
variations involving salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and even pasta. It can be
served as salad or sandwich even.
My parents like to stack grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella
pearls, and basil alternately then held into place with a toothpick. Not only a
handy way to enjoy this tasty treat, but a snazzy presentation as well.
My sister likes cracked pepper and balsamic vinegar on
her caprese. It is a really nice flavor combination and another great way to
serve caprese.
No matter how caprese is served, it is fresh and delicious.
