I love this traditional Mediterranean appetizer of fresh caprese salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and pesto. This salad makes for a nice light lunch or as a side salad for dinner.
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Parsley
- 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Basil
- 1 Tablespoon Capers (Drained)
- 6 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1 Pound Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (Sliced)
- 3 Large Tomatoes (Sliced)
- 1 Bunch Fresh Basil (Torn)
- 8 Tablespoons Pesto
- In medium-size bowl combine parsley, dried basil, oregano, capers, garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- On serving platter or large shallow serving bowl arrange mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. Add torn basil leaves.
- Drizzle with olive oil mixture. Top with basil.
- Cover and chill in refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
