The combination of flavors in this dish make me weak in the knees. In Italian they call this Insalata Caprese, which is simply, caprese salad. While I'm not a regular cheese indulger, I like to go for it when I do (full fat, no messin' around). This is a meal to enjoy and going low-fat, part-skim on the mozzarella in my opinion, really kills your taste buds.Key ingredients: Fresh basil, organic beefsteak tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper.
In true Italian form, you don't drizzle balsamic over it. However, I like the added flavor. So, why not?
Nutrition Tip: When enjoying food like this, share it! Have a few bites, enjoy the flavor, and pair with a nice glass of wine. If I'm nibbling on this, I will typically make sure to have some protein with it too. Think turkey wrapped grilled asparagus or some grilled shrimp skewers.
It's all a game of balance, right?
As they say in Italy... ciò che si mangia con gusto non fa mai male! "What you eat with pleasure can never make you feel ill."
My all-time favorite! And I just planted an early tomato plant today -- bring on the Caprese!

Oooooh I love Caprese salad! I can't wait until summer - it's just not the same without fresh summer tomatoes:)
