Caprese Salad

This easy balsamic infused Caprese Salad recipe is fit for a crowd.

It uses chopped heirloom tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil. It can even be turned into a healthy meal by adding some chicken, avocados or a little pasta. If you’re feeling really creative with your presentation, thread the ingredients onto a skewer for each person to pick up and nibble on.

We love to eat it as a side to my main dish, as an appetizer or even a mid-day snack. For this caprese, we mixed it up by adding capers, onions and balsamic to create a pretty presentation and outstanding flavor. It’s truly a magical and perfect combo of flavors, textures and freshness!

Some ways to “reinvent” your leftover Caprese Salad:  

• Chicken Caprese Wrap: In a wrap, combine chicken, leftover Caprese Salad and greens. Grill on both sides or heat in the toaster oven and serve.
