Insalata Caprese with Cucumber


Ingredients (serves 1)

- 1 fresh mozzarella cheese (125 gr), sliced
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 100 gr cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- course salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- balsamic crème
- olive oil

Method

In a circular design around the side of a serving plate, alternate fresh mozzarella slices with sliced tomatoes and cucumber slices, overlapping for effect.

Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle liberally over the slices. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Just before serving, drizzle on some top-quality extra-virgin olive oil and decorate with balsamic crème.


Enjoy!

  1. it sounds so good, fresh and light I saw the other day another recipe that you should try, instead of the normal tomato and mozzarella use pear and mozzarella with a vinagrette, it's delicious!
