Summer harvests lend to tasty salads! Caprese is one of the most simple and delectable salads. A favorite in Italy for a good reason. The melding of the flavors and textures of a beautifully ripe, fresh tomato combined with basil, firm cheese, the sweet acidic nature of the balsamic glaze and a good extra virgin olive oil can be a meal unto itself or an awesome side dish to any summer meal.
