Caprese Salad
Not so typical Caprese Salad but close. I used “Zima” orange grape tomatoes and I added cilantro for my dressing. I also added some red onions – so, now you can see how this recipe is “not” so typical Caprese salad. But don’t worry you’ll still get your favorite cheese (mozzarella) and balsamic vinegar. I love the sweet orange grape tomatoes. That day I was in the store they were sampling these tomatoes, they’re so sweet and I love small tomatoes a bit better than normal size. Cilantro? Whaaaat? Yup, I combined cilantro and basil to create a more savory herby taste. Let’s get cooking so you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about “or writing about” 🙂
