caprese salad a la ila

I scored some burrata cheese from ila... and the fixin's for a caprese salad... and voila!



Easy and delish. This is one of the few ways I eat tomatoes un-cooked. (The other, salsa.)


And this started off the "health kick" for me and the boy... went out and bought more tomatoes and basil. I even got a basil plant! He doubted my ability to take care of it (given my lack of experience/knowledge in the matter- who cares?! its a $3.00 plant). So hopefully, I will make lots of wonderful basil dishes in the future with my burgeoning basil plant! Time to start looking for basil related recipes!
