  1. I had to omit the capers cause they turned out bad. I used a yellow tomato from my garden. It was great. DH loved it. Thanks Dawn :) Made for Healthy tag game
     
  2. Made this for one! It was fabulous with homegrown tomato and freshly picked basil! Caprese represents summer to me and this is very delicous! I did not use the capers because I do not care for them! Thanks for posting! This was great! Made for Home Garden and Farmer's Market Event in the Photo Forum!
     
  3. I make this often, and it is often served with Italian dishes at my house, and sometimes as an appetizer. No matter what way I have it, it is always well received and loved!
     
  4. Perfect! Love it and have it at least once a week!
     
  5. My favorite summer salad....wish fresh garden tomatoes were available all year long. I don't generally use the capers.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I?m ?originally from Texas, but now live in Florida. Still gotta have that spice though....love chipotle peppers, habaneros, and jalapenos. This is a picture of myself & my 2 daughters taken in Dec'06. I am working on my graduate degree, & still work as a nurse prn. When I'm not cooking and eating what I cook... I head for the gym to work out. As far as cookbooks, I love the church/ community cookbooks, where someone has dug out old handwritten recipes by granny and shared them with others-those are the best kind. If I had a month off, I'd for sure go hiking, would love to visit Australia and New Zealand.?
