Insalata Caprese

One of our favorite things about summer? Real tomatoes! You know, the red ones, pulled from the vine, with garden dust, still warm from the sun. Fortuitously, the tomato crop comes at the same time as bushels of basil. Add fresh mozzarella cheese, and the table possibilities are endless!

 

IN THIS ISSUE, it's all about tomatoes and mozzarella and the scrumptious, summer dishes you can make with this famous pairing. From the classic insalata Caprese, to a pasta salad, easy sandwiches, delicious appetizers, you'll be inspired. We even demonstrate how to make your own fresh mozzarella.
