This was really good. I had a caprese salad at a local restaurant and loved it so I was excited to try this. The restaurant used sun dried tomatoes so i may try that next time to change it up a little. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

I have made in summer. Yummy! but when I make it...I slice red onion very thin and put it between tomato and cheese. It is so good this way. I make sure the red onion is sliced very very thin. Read More

I did not make any changes to this recipe. Went to the farmers market for the heirloom tomatoes and the basil. Got the rest at a specialty market went home and made it for dinner. It was absolutely delicious. Will make this again and again. Read More
