Capreze





Simple salads. They add color and appetite to your food time. 


Things you need

Mozzarella cheese (cherry sized 96gms)
Tomatoes (mini or you dice a big one)
Basil leaves ( a few)
Pepper (a little)
Salt (enough for your taste)
Olive oil (1-2 tablespoons)
Lemon (1-2 table spoons )

How to: 

1. Arrange the basil leaves, tomatoes and mozarella on your salad plate. 
2. Spread salt and pepper.
3. Add olive oil and lemon.

Tips: Capreze is really simple that you will find endless recipes in the net. Try the ones that attracts. This one you really don't need any use of knife. 

Mini tomatoes use the best ones. There are real sweet ones in the market,  they are adorable and they taste so good which would make you feel that you are eating fruits. I often buy from oisix.com. 

You can also use a normal sized tomato. 
Cut into half and slice into 1cm size across the length. The mozarella you can buy a full ball in that case rather cherry sized. 

You can use basil sauce also rather using the basil/ sweet basil leaf. But for me the presence of herb gives a relaxed atmosphere rather than an artificial sauce.
