Insalata Caprese (Tomato, Cheese, and Basil Salad)

How I would love to visit Italy’s Island of Capri, but for now, I’ll have to settle for enjoying their cuisine. This simple salad is refreshing on a warm day and the perfect accompaniment to any meal. It’s also simple and quick, taking only minutes to prepare. Normally this salad is prepared with mozzarella cheese, but we prefer feta and goat.

Cooking Notes: You can drizzle with olive oil, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. You can also drizzle with your favorite salad dressing. We didn’t season ours or use a dressing since the feta is salty and since we served it with a rich lamb dish.
