INSALATA CAPRESE I
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 SALAD RECIPE
The Insalata Caprese Salad Recipe is a fresh salad made from ripe red tomatoes and super soft and fresh mozzarella cheese. In my visit to Italy in the Summer of 2014, there was not one meal that went by without having this salad. The term Caprese, came from Capri, which is very famous for its fresh tomatoes, lemons and cheese. The Caprese Salad makes a great summertime dish for dinner or even for parties. The addition of red wine vinaigrette is not authentic, but I sometimes like that tartness from the vinaigrette. Serve the Insalata Caprese Salad fresh as an appetizer along with Crispy Eggless Bread Pinwheels Recipe and Orange Mocktail Recipe to begin your Italian Meal.

CAPRESE SALAD-INSALATA CAPRESE
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.
