Inspired by Sunday's Farmer's Market, designed by yours truly. These sexy and well-balanced salads will help keep your belly full, your blood levels happy, and perhaps even turn you on to new flavors! Easy to make, salads have 4 ingredients or less. Plus, a great dressing which keeps well in the fridge.
Heirloom Caprese Salad With Homemade Basil Pesto
This version might look a bit different from the Caprese salads you've had. I like using baby heirlooms, and a pesto topping instead of basil leaves. One hunk of fresh mozzarella in the middle, and there you have it! They served Caprese salad similar to this. Best enjoyed during the summer, but of course, Los Angelinos know that we can enjoy this anytime during the year ;)
Salad:
One Large Ovoline (fresh) mozzarella, cut in half
About 10 Baby Heirloom tomatoes, halved
Dressing: Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top off mozzarella with basil pesto.

BUON APETITO!
