Caprese Ravioli Salad
Caprese Ravioli Salad is the pasta salad of summer…. or winter…. whenever you are looking for something light and refreshing. 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. I recommend cheese ravioli or perhaps cheese tortellini (if you can’t find ravioli). Use fresh basil, it’s way better than dried basil.
