Caprese Tomato Salad

This salad is so addictive and perfect for a side or snack!

I can't remember who made this for a family dinner last year but it was either my mother-in-law or sister-in-law and Nick and I immediately wanted it ALL THE TIME. We started making it with lunch on the weekdays and eating it with naan (we just had it by itself at family dinner). It doesn't need to have naan but it's so good with little mini naans especially.

What you need:

• 2 pints grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
• 16 oz. fresh mozzarella log --OR-- 16 oz. mozzarella pearls
• Olive oil
• Italian seasoning
  
• Fresh basil, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
  

Directions:

1. Toss together tomatoes and cheese.
2. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil to start. Add seasonings and toss.
3. Add more oil or seasonings as needed to desired consistency and seasoning level.
4. Serve with naan, flatbread, or crackers.

Original Fantastical recipe

I love anything with tomato and basil combo, so it's no surprise that I enjoyed this Caprese Florentine Quiche. I love chicken paired with caprese, so I really think this Pesto Chicken Caprese Salad from Nutmeg Nanny looks insanely good!
