**Caprese Salad **is a simple salad that consists of slices of tomato, mozzarella cheese, basil, and an olive oil dressing.
Procedure:
Take a few vine-ripened tomatoes and cut them in thick circular slices. Take Buffalo Mozzarella and cut it into thick circular slices. Arrange in a pattern on the plate. For example, place a slice of tomato, then a slice of mozzarella, then a basil leaf (repeat pattern). You can even arrange it in a domino fashion.
**Dressing: ** Squeeze the juice of half a lemon. To this add some salt and cracked pepper to taste. Then add extra virgin olive oil (according to taste) and stir really well. Pour this dressing over the cheese, tomato, and basil. And serve.
