Caprese salad is delicious anytime, but when it's made with fresh, homegrown tomatoes, it rises to a whole 'nother level!
Serve it as an appetizer or side dish, and you likely won't bother eating the main course. And the best part is it's so easy.
Just cut a block of mozzarella cheese into quarter-inch-thick slices and top with thick slices of red-ripe tomatoes from the garden. Tuck a few basil leaves between the cheese and tomato.
If you're using homegrown tomatoes, you won't even need any salt, pepper or oil. It's that good.
