Insalata Caprese

tomato-salad

Tomatoes and basil from the garden with big fat slabs of fresh mozzarella.

An easy and refreshing salad perfect for the last evenings of summer.

We had it as a side to Pesto-stuffed Chicken with new potatoes from the neighbors’ farm.

Pesto Dressing

The dressing is not precise measurements.  Take risks when you make it and use your best judgment to make it perfect for you.

  • 1 c. fresh basil….
  • 1/4 c olive oil
  • 1/4 fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • toasted pine nuts
  • salt

Put all ingredients in food processor or blender, pulse until you get your desired consistency.
