Kinda Caprese Recipe

One of the things I like to make for lunch or a snack is my take on a Caprese salad, well, maybe a Caprese appetizer, sorta, it’s just kinda Caprese.

I start with mozzarella cheese cut into squares because it was a rectangular block to begin with, then I’ll spread some pesto on top of the cheese. Preferring Roma tomatoes, I’ll usually cut one tomato and put them on top of the pesto, then have an olive for each piece of cheese. I suppose you could skewer them with a tooth pick and make hors d’oeuvres, but I just use my fork to get cheese, pesto, tomato and olive in one bite.

It’s light, tasty, low carb, and somewhat Paleo. In an ideal world you could use raw milk mozzarella, make your own pesto fresh from your garden basil and use a tomato from your garden. The better job you do in getting the best ingredients, the better it’s going to be for you.
