Listen, it's CapreHEARSAY Salad

So Italy might have lost the European championship, but this is still a winning Italian dish! (http://www.latimes.com/sports/soccer/la-sp-italy-spain-soccer-20120702,0,2569775.story)

This is a freehand kinda recipe, meaning there are no exact measurements. I know this might scare some of you, but take this opportunity to step away from the recipe and trust your culinary self! (Plus, this is pretty fool proof). LIVE A LITTLE!

I first learned this recipe when I took a cooking class in 4th grade. We would sit in the school cafeteria and the teacher would show us how to make smoothies, salads, crepes, etc. I came home and made this for my family one day and it's been a staple ever since.

It's super easy, very fresh, and deliciously healthy!

What you'll need:
- fresh baby mozzarella
- tomatoes
- basil
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- salt

How you make it:

Start by slicing the tomatoes and mozzarella into about equal sized portions. Layer the tomatoes and mozzarella slices (see picture). Next, thinly slice a handful of basil and sprinkle over the tomato and mozzarella. Drizzle olive oil, then balsamic vinegar, and then sprinkle some salt (add pepper if you wish).

DONE! Enjoy this winning combo!
