Caprese Salad


What a beautiful summer salad.. I just love the colours and flavours that this classic Italian salad has to offer :) The 3 key ingredients are: tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella. This recipe calls for Fiora di latte, which is fresh mozzarella made from cow's milk. However, I searched high and low for this cheese for two days and couldn't find it anywhere. So I used buffalo mozzarella instead, and it was sooo delicious! We enjoyed it with some crusty bread - great for soaking up scrummy salad juices :)

I decided to make this after watching Better Homes & Gardens (BHG) the other night. To watch the video segment, click here. I followed the recipe in the BHG magazine (Christmas 2009 issue). For those who are keen, here's the full recipe:
