it's caprese salad time

Now you see the difference between my sister's quality photos and my attempt from the cell phone.  Oh well. 

My Dad's garden provided these tomatoes; I also get wonderful varieties from the local Farmers Markets.  Just mix up some sliced or diced tomatoes, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, with a touch of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and sliced fresh basil leaves.  Sometimes I add some chopped garlic.  This makes a tasty late summer salad (this one is garnished with kalamata olives and anchovies) - I have also served it over grilled zucchini slices.  You can also pile it on toasted baguette slices for an appetizer, or mix with freshly cooked pasta for an entree.
