Caprese salad is a wonderful salad to with a meal and/or as an appetizer. I sometimes enjoy this dish with a rustic roll for a delicious lunch. The freshly squeezed lemon juice to the balsamic and olive oil adds a wonderful flavor. Enjoy! (To enjoy this recipe gluten-free, make it minus the balsamic!).
