Fall Inspired Caprese Salad
Fall is approaching but the weather may not be cooling off quite yet.
When asked to bring a simple side dish to any Summer gathering, I happily rely on two little words: Caprese salad. Those crisp sliced garden tomatoes, topped with mozzarella and fresh basil leaves equal a one-of-a-kind party pleaser. With four lovely ingredients that need no more than five minutes of prep– what could be more enjoyable? I also happen to sneak a few bites in while I’m preparing my layered Caprese platter!
But Summer is coming to a close. Outdoor gatherings are still happening in the September months…so what to do?
We happily stumbled across this delicious recipe by “I Adore What I Love”- A Mom Blog, and really appreciated the additional ingredients including avocado, apple, and honey! What a great way to transition our Summer favorite with some Fall flavors!
This original dish always gets devoured… and with this alternative twist, we are sure it will be a hit at your next gathering!
Pair with our dark green, olive green, red, or signature white dinner napkins!
Ingredients:
- 3 apples peeled and diced
- 1 lb Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Log I buy the pre-sliced, and then slice them into cubes even more!
- 3 avocados take the avocado out of the shell and cube it
- 5 Roma Tomatoes cubed
- 1 big bunch hand ripped fresh basil
- 1/2 cup honey
Directions:
-
Add all ingredients, except honey, into a bowl and mix delicately.
-
Pour honey over the salad immediately before serving. Add more or less to taste.
-
Enjoy!!! Refrigerate the leftovers, if you have any! They will keep it for a day.
