Caprese Ravioli Salad

It’s ready in about 20 minutes or less and is packed with fresh flavors of basil, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic glaze. This recipe can be served as a side dish or main course. If serving as the main course, add a garden salad or some fresh veggies and hummus on the side. The ravioli is coated in a wonderful oil and herb dressing. You can use cherry or grape tomatoes.

Caprese French Bread Pizza
When I think of crisp and refreshing, I think of caprese salad. It has juicy, ripe tomatoes, slices of soft mozzarella, and is finished with incredibly fresh basil leaves. If you add some French bread and a smear of pesto and can turn a lovely caprese salad into a tasty pizza. It’s bursting with flavor and is to toasted to perfection. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the French bread in half, horizontally. If the bread is too long to fit on a baking sheet, slice the bread in half so it will fit. Make sure you look for soft Italian bread or French bread. You don’t want to use a hearty baguette or anything that will be too hard and crusty after baking. I like to use store-bought basil pesto, but you can make homemade pesto if you have … Continue reading
