Caprese Salad

One of my favourite summer salads

This is so delicious when the tomatoes are ripe and the basil is plentiful. It is one of my favourite summer salads that I learned to make when I worked at Terroni many years ago. Caprese salad is the type of dish that tastes better with better quality ingredients so I usually only make it in the summer when the tomatoes are at their peak and I use the best quality olive oil I have on hand. I'm also a purest so I never add vinegar to this dish.

2 ripe tomatoes
4 boccocini
fresh basil
olive oil
salt and pepper

Mix all the ingredients and serve.
