My husband and I were going to go out for a drink and some appetizers so I made us a pre-appetizer just to get us started, and minimize the amount of appetizer we ordered out...
Super quick and super easy, I sliced one whole tomato, one whole ball of mozzarella, and half a cucumber and lined it up on a dinner plate. I picked some lemon basil from my garden and used it s an edible garnish. I drizzled the whole dish with aged balsamic vinegar and a nice olive oil, and salt and peppered the whole dish. It was very quick to make and a great starter to get us going before our night out. what I like about lining the components up is that you can switch up what you eat together.
You can most definitely play around with the plating. I am always trying to make my dishes look just as good as they taste. I think this is the hardest part of cooking. I read somewhere that you want to create height, diversity in color, and keep the plate clean.
Please post photos of your caprese plating! and Enjoy!
