Easy Caprese Pasta Salad
The first time I’d ever eaten a Caprese salad, layered with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, was in a cousin’s house in New Jersey. My grandfather had taken my cousin and me up to Jersey to meet my grandmother’s family, and they had a gorgeous summer garden. The tomatoes were ripe, the basil was bright green, and this Caprese pasta salad is my way of remembering that delicious trip!
Caprese salad takes the best tastes of summer, fresh ripe tomatoes and vibrant basil, and pairs it with rich, creamy mozzarella (not the hard block), and tangy balsamic vinegar with olive oil. Everything about this salad screams Mediterranean!
Freshly cooked pasta, diced tomatoes, cubed mozzarella, and fresh basil all work together in this delicious pasta salad.
