And then there is insalata caprice.

Layer slices of fresh tomato with whole fresh basil leaves and fresh
mozarella cheese slices. Drizzle with vinagrette, chill and serve.


Yum.
In Italy the caprese maker omits the vinegar and drizzles a little EVO
on the dish. True heaven.
And I leave in 10 days...ahhhh.


I envy you. :-)

I actually learned about that dish on alt.binaries.food.

I did not grow any veggies this year (just herbs and stuff) but I do
plan to next year.

Grossery store tomatoes just don't cut it. I need to hit the Farmers
Market before it gets to be too late in the year.


Slice French bread in half (length wise) and place under cut side up
under broiler until toasted. Rub toasted bread with garlic. Drizzle
toasted face with olive oil. Place a layer of basil leaves, then sliced
tomato, and finally sprinkle with parmesan or romano cheese. Return,
face up to broiler until cheese browns lightly. Slice into 3" to 4"
pieces and serve.
