In Italy, this is considered a "starter" salad. It is supposed to whet the appetite. But we tend to make it bigger in the U S of A, more like a side dish (or even a main dish)!
It is a delicious dish, but you must eat slowly. ENJOY it.
The ingredients:
fresh mozzarella
ripe tomatoes, as sweet as possible
fresh basil leaves (from a personal plant/garden)
salt
pepper
olive oil
I wish I'd taken a picture of the beautiful salad I made last week. It was sooo good that I started eating it before I took a picture. Half of it was gone before I offered it to Ethan. I assumed he would NOT like Capri Salad, and thinking I'd eat it all, I half-heartedly offered it to him. He LIKED it, which was a blessing as well as a curse.
