Caprese Salad

I'm back in London from my amazing birthday holiday on the Amalfi Coast and beside the lovely memories I brought back some simple local food recipes. One of them is this extremely simple Insalata Caprese.

You will need : 

•mozzarella di buffala ( mini ones or slices) 

•1 big tomato slices ( I recommend the Isle of Wright tomatoes for their fab taste)

•a handful of fresh basil finely chopped 

• a dash of dried oregano and some salt and fresh ground pepper 

•a handful of rucola/rocket salad 

• a few olives for the deco 

Arrange all the ingredients on your favourite plate and serve with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. 

It makes a fabulous fresh starter and its easy to make. Enjoy xxx
