Caprese Salad

Caprese Panini Recipe

It’s easy to take your favorite Caprese salad to the next level and turn it into a meal by following my Caprese  panini recipe.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Directions:

Place the cheese, tomato slices and basil on one slice of bread.  Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar.   Season with salt and pepper. Top it with the other slice of  bread.

Brush with Olive Oil.  (Just a touch, don’t saturate the bread.) 

Cook in a panini maker, grill, or skillet  until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, approximately 3 minutes per side.

Fresh Ideas for Tomato Salad

Fresh tomatoes can’t be beat and I’ve found a couple of  fresh (as in new) tomato salad recipes that I think you might love!

The first one is a lovely Avocado and Tomato Salad which uses only four ingredients to create a taste sensation that your friends and family will adore.

The other is a delicious Tomato and Onion Salad that uses a Japanese style salad dressing to really punch up the flavor.

Either of these tomato recipes would go wonderful as a side dish for any type of meat or serve them on their own for a light meal.

Both of these salads were created by a “chef” who claims not to be a great cook but after you try these easy to make delicious tomato salads I think you’ll disagree.
