The wonderful and timeless Italian appetizer: the Insalata Caprese. A lesson in the virtues of minalism. Just please make sure you use genuine "mozzarella di bufala" and heirloom tomatoes.
Grape and cherry tomatoes turn sweet and deeply flavorful after slow roasting in a low oven. Tossed with fresh mozzarella, basil, and a balsamic glaze you have a beautiful summer salad.
