Caprese Salad

 I plan on making a lot of these this summer with my hopefully abundant tomato and basil harvest.

 Slice the tomatoes, lay them on paper towels and sprinkle them with sea salt.

 My new secret weapon!  My daughter bought me this smoked olive oil for my birthday.  Oh wow!  This is life changing!

 Slice fresh Mozzarella, and alternate it with basil and tomatoes.  Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over it, sprinkle it with a bit of sea salt, drizzle some white balsamic vinegar and dark balsamic glaze.  Drizzle some of the smoked olive oil or regular olive oil over it.

 Brush some bread with melted butter mixed with minced garlic and fresh parsley.

Broil these until they begin to brown.  Cut these into slices and serve as a base for the Caprese salad.

A perfect summer meal!
Smoked olive oil?! Never heard of it but I must see if I can find it over here.

The wind finally calmed down here and the sun shines so nicely so now I can have my kitchen door open again :-)

Have a great day!

Well, I am ready to enjoy this! It is lunchtime around here.:) Now I will be looking for smoked olive oil!
I do hope you have good luck with your tomatoes and basil this season.
Have a great Friday!
I can hardly wait for the tomatoes to get ripe. This looks heavenly. I'm getting more fresh broccoli from the garden today. Wish I could share with you.
