Caprese!



     It's the last day of the month, and leap year none the less so what I was thinking was that we could end it with a great side dish and one of my family's favourite, Caprese! Its very simple, yet very elegant. Caprese is a great side dish especially if your having a pasta or a nice steak dinner with friends.

As always, make sure to prepare the food with your heart!

Ingredients:

1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (cherry size)
1 medium size zucchini (quartered and cut into bite size)
Juice of 1 whole lemon
¼  cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ cup fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped)

Procedure:

Gently mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving; this allow the veggies and cheese to absorb all the amazing flavours! Enjoy!

-Love-
