We think salad gets a bad rap. A lot of people seem to think of it as something you have to force yourself to eat when you're trying to be healthier or lose weight. But really, you' re daydreaming of a thick and juicy steak or maybe a nice ice cream sundae. However, there are plenty of options out there when it comes to taking your salad up a notch and making a satisfying, nourishing and delicious meal that you'll be looking forward to all day. In fact, we're always looking for ways to experiment with and dress up our salads to see what we can come up with, and absolutely adore Caprese salads, which are so hearty they're a meal in themselves, but also make a great side dish.
This Caprese salad is loaded with goodies, including ripe and juicy tomatoes, basil leaves, olive oil, salt, and pepper, as well as rich and creamy Mozzarella cheese. Plus, it's topped off with a balsamic glaze that really pulls all of the ingredients together and enhances the flavor of everything else in the salad. This is what we make when we're craving something refreshing but also hearty. Yum!
