Caprese Salad image

My husband and I love Caprese salad, but not the high prices we pay for it in restaurants. Here, we created our own version which tastes incredibly close, if not better, than any restaurant version we've tried. -Melissa Pearson, Sandy, Utah

This salad is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I had some tomatoes that were starting to get a little soft and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.

I used fresh basil from my garden in this salad and it was amazing. The flavor was so much better than with store-bought basil.
