RE Friday Round-Up: Caprese Salad Served Many Ways
Caprese Salad is summer, to me.
Warm tomatoes fresh from the garden.
Trying to notice something new every day. The beautiful colors, shapes, the design of a tomato.
Noticing what food tastes like.
The fresh smells of the herb bed and an abundance of basil.
The sound of a gurgling bottle of balsamic, drizzled over a beautiful platter of Caprese Salad.
And then … hearing the sounds of your guests as they rave over the garden freshness.
Yes, summer is Caprese Salad.

good results. If you know of any please share.
Cheers!
This is my favorite topic! Thank you so much for putting it out there, with fresh Basil and Tomato’s in season I crave this combo often. And thank you for adding my wrap to the Round up!

You made hungry, I’m drooling over the images :)
I’ve never made or had anything caprese which is funny because I love all the ingredients.
Ever since going to Italy in the summer of 2007, I have fallen in love with Caprese Salad. I LOVE all the ways you serve it up in these suggestions!! My favorite is the one on the toothpicks. I def will have to try that one! I tend to get recipe-bound, but I am trying to grow in the area of thinking outside the box, and getting creative in my cooking. Thanks for this website.
I just had caldera last night…absolutely one of the yunmiest things. My standard way is everything chopped into little pieces and thrown together (with chery tomatoes) but that sandwich looks amazing.
Whoops – caprese not caldera. Dang smart phone!
My favorite plate to make for a tapas party is the caprese on a stick.. so each to eat and I bet you don’t just eat one! Thanks for sharing the other ideas.. Guess what’s on my menu tomorrow?

Loooooooove this post!!! :)
variation—too different to call caprese, but delicious none the less
sliced ripe tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic (or your favorite vinegarette) topped with crumbled bleu cheese, and minced green onions
Thank you for the nice mention for my Caprese bites! These are always a HUGE hit at any party and folks can’t stop eating just a couple. Love your blog! Have a great weekend.
There is just something so soul satisfying, about a warm, fresh from the vine tomato. Kinda like fresh baked bread and bean soup on a cold winter evening.
Your caprese salad looks and sounds yummy.
Now…..if I could keep my hands OFF the tomatoes long enough for more than one to ripen at a time. I’m a sucker for green fried tomatoes.
My mouth is literally watering. Caprese salad is one of my most favorite combinations of ingredients. I loved seeing all the unique twists on it!
All of these look great. I just posted a Caprese combination this morning. I think the skewers might be one of our favorites now. I love the burger idea!
Yummy. I love Caprese pasta salad. Happy Friday!
Yum!! Sandy all those look sooo delicious! I love caprese salad, it is one of my favorite dishes with basil…..
Now I know what to do with all my tomatoes =)
thanks
I love it with roasted tomatoes, aged balsamic, fruity olive oil, cracked pepper and homemade mozzarella from our favorite Italian deli. Just may be making this this weekend.
Have a great one!

I adore caprese salad! You’re right: summer in a bite! Our basil is just now recovering from a pretty severe cutting I did for a recipe…now for the tomatoes to hurry it up in our garden…you’ve got my mouth watering :-). Here’s my version: http://kristinsveranda.com/victuals/2011/07/29/caprese-salad-my-way/
I am actually am tomorrow night! I’m hosting a dinner party (of course a post will come from it) and the appie is the mini caprese skewers.
DE-FREAKING-LISH.
Any way it is served is my favorite way, LOL! I really do like Caprese Salad and like you, it is a favorite summer dish.

I’ve never made Caprese Salad before but I was basically drooling when I saw the Caprese Burger. YUM!!!
