Sometimes you just need something classic. There's nothing more traditional than a good ol' caprese. I needed a dish that would carry us through the week so I made a caprese pasta salad, beautifully fragrant with seasonal basil. Mmmmmm basil. Perfect for the whole family, whether it's brunch, dinner or even a quick snack. The best part is, it gets tastier as the days go by!
