Caprese Salad!

Caprese Salad

(Serves 4-6)

Don’t be jealous any longer!  Now you can make a delicious dairy-free version of the famous Italian tri-color salad of sliced tomato, basil and mozzarella.  This makes a beautiful appetizer when paired with crackers or toasted bread rounds, or serve as a full meal with chunks of a good quality artisan bread.

Ingredients:

4 large ripe tomatoes, sliced into ¼” thick rounds

2 containers Vegan Cow brand Mockstarella Cheese, cut into ¼” thick slices

½ cup fresh basil leaves

3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons capers, drained (optional)

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. On a large platter or on individual plates, in a circular design starting from the outer edge of the plate, alternate and overlap the tomato slices, Mockstarella slices, and fresh basil leaves.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with capers, if using, and season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
