Process Cooking Caprese Salad
If using garlic: Pour olive oil into a small bowl, add garlic and mix together to season the oil..
Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella so they're about the same thickness..
Arrange the tomatoes on a pretty serving plate, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle a bit of the olive oil over top..
Place mozzarella on top of the tomatoes, salt and pepper lightly, then drizzle a bit more olive oil on top..
Top with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil. Add a splash of red wine vinegar or lemon if using. (As you can see, I love lots of garlic!) Sop up the olive oil and juices with fresh bread. Enjoy..
