Israeli Caprese Salad
Caprese salad originated in the Italian region of Campania, and is one of those simple, classic recipes that has existed, mostly unchanged, for a long time. This version includes a liberal shake of the Middle Eastern spice za’atar, which adds a delicious element of savory complexity.
1 medium sized ball, fresh mozzarella
15 fresh basil leaves, washed
2 ripe heirloom tomatoes
1 Tbs Olive Oil
1½ tsp za’atar
sea salt / fresh pepper
Slice the mozzarella into ¼ inch thick rounds.
Slice the tomatoes the same way and remove the seeds.
Arrange mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes on a plate - you can do this any way you’d like, but the traditional way is to layer them in an alternating pattern.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with za’atar, salt, and pepper.
