We've been busy whipping up some serious snacks in the SB kitchen this afternoon! Today, we're featuring a heart-healthy caprese salad, complete with heart-shaped mozzarella in honor of Valentine's Day and Heart Health Month! This filling, nutritious snack is super easy to make and is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Follow along with us using the recipe below:
Prep time: 5 minutes
Servings: 5-7
Ingredients:
8 oz fresh mozzarella
1 Large organic Tomato
Fresh basil
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Sea Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Small heart-shaped cookie cutter
Directions:
1. Cut the mozzarella into 1/4" slices (we cheated a bit and skipped this step by buying pre-cut fresh mozzarella!). Use the small cookie cutter to cut out a heart shape in each slice. Set the hearts aside.
2. Cut the tomato into 1/4" slices as well. We suggest using a large, organic tomato to maximize your veggies!
3. Pull off the basil leaves, and place on the center of each tomato. Repeat with the mozzarella hearts.
4. Lightly drizzle oil and vinegar over everything. Finish off with cracked sea salt and pepper to taste!
Who knew such a simple recipe could be so pretty?! This was the perfect end-of-the-week pick me up for SB Headquarters...we have a feeling gourmet snack time is going to become a regular activity around here!
