Insalata Caprese Salad

• 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick
• 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons drained capers (optional)
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic Vinager

1. In a circular design around the side of a serving plate, alternate fresh mozzarella slices on a large platter (or on individual plates if you are doing individual portions) with sliced tomatoes, overlapping for effect.
2. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle liberally over the slices. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Sprinkle capers over the top.
3. Just before serving, drizzle on some excellent extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinager.
