| Author Notes: | Caprese is a traditional Italian combination of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil. While it's usually served as a salad, we like to serve it on crusty bread or focaccia. |
| Ingredients: |
2 crusty baguettes or 4 large crusty rolls or 4 servings focaccia bread
1/4 cup olive oil 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonnade 4 ripe fresh tomatoes 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced sliced kalamata olives (optional) salt and fresh ground pepper to taste |
| Instructions: | Cut bread in half. Layer sliced tomatoes and sliced cheese and (if desired) olives. Sprinkle basil over sandwiches. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. |

So easy, but so good
Written by: Rowan04 August 2008 |
| This was so easy to make, but boy was it good. Took it on a picnic last week and everyone raved about it. Of course, it did help that I had tomatoes fresh from the garden. It's just so simple, but with good olive oil, and fresh basil and garden tomatoes, and a crusty baguette, the sum was much bigger than any of the parts. I didn't even use the olives, but I bet that's good too. sometimes kalamatas are a bit strong for some people's tastes. My nephew can't stand them, but he likes other kinds of olives. He says they're too strong. I personally live them and can't stand the canned black olives like you typically get at lower end US salad bars. To each his own. |
