I really love caprese salads. Crema Cafe in Old Town makes some of the best caprese salads and sandwiches of all time. However, my favorite cafe isn't always open, and so I created my own caprese inspired dish.
I love bruschetta; it's super easy to make for a snack or dinner parties. For caprese bruschetta, I simply bought a mini baguette from Trader Joe's, fresh tomatoes, pesto sauce, basil leaves, and a log of mozzarella.
I sliced the loaf into inch-thick slices, then brushed with olive oil. I topped it off with a slice of tomato, a basil leaf, mozzarella, and drizzled some pesto on top.
Sometimes my mouth just craves food that is fresh and simple; something that hasn't been cooked or overloaded with too many ingredients.
And on that note, I am now starving. Happy weekend to all!
