Simple Good Healthy Capri Salad

"We have this often when the garden tomatoes get ripe. It is so simple and can be a complete meal. If you just need a light lunch or dinner serve with your favorite Whole Grain Bread, or if you prefer more traditional, Italian or garlic Bread. It has protien, dairy, fresh tomatoes, and did you know that BASIL in just one serving, has Dietary Fiber, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin B-6, Total Folate and Vitamin K. But you don't have to think about that when you are eating just ENJOY."

  1. So tasty! I had this with a little piece of grilled steak and it was heaven. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2010.
     
  2. I tagged this recipe specifically for my DH and he LOVED it ~ I loved it because it was easy to make and is a nice healthy snack or light meal. Thanks for posting ~ made for Spring PAC 2010!
     
  3. Excellent! Make a similar summer mini appetizer - large tomatoes and good sized balls of cheese plated makes for one great salad. Am very partial to Saputo cheese with the tomatoes and basil. Can't wait to make this with vine ripened tomatoes from the garden - then I would need more stars! Thank you for sharing.

Love trying new recipes!!! I get bored eating the same things, at least I think I would if I ever did. Love all types of cuisine. Always ready to try something new. I have a few 'aversions'; anything hydrogenated, High Fructose Corn Syrup, & MSG and Cool Whip. If these ingredients are in something I will not eat it (Probably, maybe not, unless it looks really really good). Grandmother of six, even though I am sure that I am not old enough, and certianly don't feel old enough at my age (55) to have that many. One more thing about me, I am blessed with a very loving husband who will eat anything I cook and never complains.
