Hello! As always, sorry for the lag in posting. What I am writing about tonight I made over a week ago on last Saturday, I've just been busy/forgetting to post, so sorry.
Anyway... this post and the next are all about the basil from my garden! I originally planted two basil plants, one unfortunately died early on, but the other is growing like crazy. So much basil! Thus I had to make some of my favorite basil dishes: Caprese salad and pesto.
First, this post is the caprese. Literally one of my favorite foods on earth. Usually I make it traditionally with tomato, mozzarella, basil, salt, pepper, olive oil, basil vinaigrette. This time I found a recipe online for the same thing, but including peaches. Yummy!
To start you chop up the ingredients. I cut the tomatoes in some nice thick slices,
the peaches the same way,
and the mozzarella the same (you can buy this pre-sliced if you wish).
Then put it all together! I layered tomato on the bottom, then peaches, then cheese, then basil. Then I realized I needed a bigger plate!
Sprinkle with however much olive oil, balsamic, and salt and pepper as you wish.
And enjoy! Super delicious, super easy, and no heat involved!
Looks beautiful too!
