Tomato season is quickly approaching and before long I will have tons of tomatoes in my CSA each week. One of my favorite was to eat tomatoes is by quickly grilling them and then sprinkling them with some Real Salt and black pepper. It brings out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and pairs well with the salt. The warm tomatoes lightly melt the mozzarella which makes it even more creamy. After assembling the salad I drizzle it with some extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar which creates a delicious dressing for the salad. I hope get a chance to enjoy this Grilled Caprese Salad this summer.
P.S. If you make any of my recipes I’d love to see them on Instagram so definitely tag me with @holisticallyeng
