Oh so delicious Caprese Salad
The combination of mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar is amazing. This is our go-to lunch right now with the heat of the summer
I use Roland Balsamic Glaze From Italy that I order off of Amazon. I buy the big container because we use it for everything. From salads to grilled cheese sandwiches this balsamic vinegar is amazing.

It feels crazy calling this a recipe when it is so dang easy! This Caprese salad works great as an appetizer for parties. You can slice the tomatoes and mozzarella in quarters and use a toothpick to hold them together with some basil. Pour a bit of balsamic glaze over them and you have a super easy ready to go appetizer.
