this one is super easy but tastes fantastic and has great colours!.
caprese:
slice tomatoes and mozzarella cheese (the one you buy in brine in little bags)
you want the same number of slices of both!.
take a bunch of fresh basil leaves and chop them roughly
using mortar and pestle crush these with a lot of olive oil and a bit of sea salt!.
put tomato and mozzarella slices on a large plate alternating them and making a kind of spiral!. pour the dressing over them and serve!. make sure the tomatoes are not cold (if you store them in a fridge they lose flavour)
to make it look really nice you could arrange some basil leaves on top!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
