ref=”https://thinktasty1.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Caprese-Salad.jpg”>Simple but special and complex-tasting, this recipe delivers a mouthful of pizza-like flavor in a salad. For a change of pace, there are no greens required for this salad, except some fresh basil leaves. (Running them through your salad spinner — it’s not just for lettuce! — will ensure they’re at their best.) Though this traditional Italian salad is named after the island of Capri, the recipe comes from mid-Ohio, where you’ll find the HideAway Country Inn in Bucyrus. As they say, “Stop to breathe deeply the fresh, clean, country air – but don’t forget that world-class amenities are still at your fingertips!”
