Caprese Salad
Caprese Salad is an Italian salad made with sliced tomatoes, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic balsamic glaze.
But I changed it a bit and used grated mozzarella cheese instead of sliced cheese, and put under broiler until cheese is melted. Caprese Salad can easily be served as an appetizer, salad or side dish.
