Caprese Tart
July 15, 2011
As easy as an Insalata Caprese (The Salad from Capri) (Caprese Salad) and much better than ordering a pizza. (I have never made pizza dough and there is no place around my neighborhood that sells it.) Make this fast and fresh tart for a quick lunch or a simple dinner. For me nothing can go wrong with tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil, it is always a success.
