ITALIAN ANTIPASTO CAPRESE SALAD RECIPE
Steps:
- Starting in the middle of the plate begin arranging the slices like so: one slice of mozzarella, one slice of tomato one large leaf (or two small) of fresh basil.
- Continue in a circle until all the ingredients are used and you have filled the plate in a spiral.
- Season with Salt and Pepper to taste.
- Pour the balsamic vinegar glaze and olive oil evenly over the salad. (This is optional because Classic Caprese Salad does not include a dressing or vinegar.)

CAPRESE ANTIPASTO
If you have ever eaten a caprese salad and wished that you could linger with it longer, that there were more tomatoes to spear with your fork, or more milky slices of cheese on the plate, then this is the dish for you. Best at the height of tomato season, it embellishes on the classic caprese, taking its five simple elements - mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, salt and olive oil - and adding roasted peppers, caperberries (or capers), olive and prosciutto. The result is a luscious lunch or light dinner that will make your dining companions swoon. You will wonder why you didn't think of it sooner. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread on the side.

Steps:
- To roast peppers, set them directly in the flames of a stovetop gas burner turned to high, or over hot coals if you happen to be grilling. (You could also roast under the broiler, with peppers as close to heat source as possible.) Turn peppers with tongs until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate and let cool. To peel, cut peppers lengthwise. Scrape seeds and veins away with your knife, then turn peppers over and scrape away charred skin. Slice peeled peppers into 1/2-inch ribbons and place in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss. (Peppers may be roasted up to a day ahead.)
- Cut mozzarella into 1/4-inch slices. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices and halve cherry tomatoes.
- Arrange mozzarella slices in the center of a large platter. Surround with tomatoes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Add roasted pepper strips, caperberries and olives. Drape prosciutto around the platter. Garnish with basil leaves. Drizzle generously with olive oil and serve.

CAPRESE ON A STICK
This is a great, easy finger appetizer. I came up with it because I love Caprese but it was difficult to serve at large parties. Putting the same ingredients on a toothpick yielded great results.
