Non-Traditional Italian Caprese Salad

This is a variation of the traditional Italian Caprese Salad.

It contains the same ingredients:

• tomatoes
• basil
• mozarella
• oreganum

The difference is in the presentation.

1. Take a mozarella ball and cut into slices
2. Arrange the slices around the edge of a round plate
3. Chop cherry tomatoes and basil into a bowl and add some olive oil and oreganum
4. Mix this together and spoon out into the center of the plate
5. Pour a drizzle of olive oil over the mozarella and then sprinkle a little oreganum over the cheese

It’s now ready to serve.

This salad is perfect as a starter or an accompaniment to a cheese board on a summer’s day. Or, as a light lunch, if you feel like something small and healthy.

And of course, you should have the herbs (basil and oreganum) in your herb garden.
