If there was a Caprese Addicts Anonymous group, I think that I would immediately have to join. I know that it was only a few weeks ago that I shared with you my portable caprese salads, but I cannot help it. There is just something about tomatoes, basil and mozzarella that makes this gal think summertime.
Last week, in order to help out some dear friends of mine, I made lunch. With the help of another friend, I made a huge batch of Italian pasta salad, baked cupcakes, and put together a bunch of turkey sandwiches, ham sandwiches, and for the vegetarians, some Caprese sandwiches. To be honest, I could have made some pitas with hummus and veggies like I did a awhile ago, but with all the vegetable garden planning, I already had tomatoes and basil on the brain.
Caprese Sandwiches
1 loaf ciabatta bread
1 vine ripened tomato sliced thin
1 large bunch basil
3 or 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
2 Tbs balsalmic vinegrette
Salt and Pepper to taste
Slice the ciabatta bread lengthwise. Drizzle balsalmic vinegrette on both sides of the bread, spreading with a basting brush if necessary.
Arrange tomatoes, mozzarella, basil leaves on the bread, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cut into slices, and serve immediately.
Brian who claims he hates tomatoes, devoured it. I cannot wait to bring this on our next picnic.
