Basil, Mozzarella and Red Pepper Slices
Summer is almost here! Around this time of year, I can’t help fighting the urge to plant an herb garden. Ha! Try weeding that all summer with three little ones in the heat! I have discovered a short cut way to enjoy my fresh herbs with much less work. I make a trip to a local greenhouse or nursery and purchase herb plants already potted and well on their way. In fact, when I bring them home, I can start using them immediately. Some I keep in pots on my kitchen windowsill and some I replant to pots on my deck where my “mini garden” will be more manageable. Even if you don’t have time for a garden, you can buy just one small herb plant and expand your summer menu. Here are some “fresh” ideas to use basil.
*Prep Time (10 minutes)*
Ingredients:
- Buffalo mozzarella
- Red pepper or Roma tomato
- Basil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Directions:
Arrange Buffalo mozzarella on plate. Arrange red pepper or Roma tomato slices in between. Top with cut basil leaves. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
