How to make
Caprese salad comes from the island of Capri, Italy. Due to the combination of the colors red, white and green (the colors of the national flag of Italy), Caprese salad became one of the national dishes of Italy.
For the pesto:
Basil, pine nuts and garlic are placed in a blender, olive oil is poured and the mixture is blended. Add the lemon juice, grated Parmesan and season with as much salt as you like. Mix well.
The tomatoes and mozzarella are cut into circles. Arrange them in serving plates, by alternating with a slight overlap. The pesto is distributed over them.
The Italian salad is additionally sprinkled with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and as much dried oregano as you like.
The Caprese Salad with Pesto Genovese is ready.
