Fresh Caprese Salad

Klesick Farms Caprese Salad

With so many of the tomatoes coming in from local farms right now, we had to try and capitalize on the beauty and flavor that is a summer tomato.

Our take on Caprese salad comes together in a flash. You can eat it plain, spread it on bread, pile it on chips, or stir it into pasta. It’s that versatile! With tomatoes as good as we have right now, it will be have everyone at the summer BBQs and picnics coming back for seconds!

Note: make this ahead, and let the flavors mingle for a couple of hours in the fridge for optimum flavor.
