Quick Caprese

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!
