Cut up one heirloom tomato (i.e. the hippie kind) and an 8oz package of fresh mozzarella cheese into large slices. Layer that shit: 1 tomato slice, 1 mozzarella slice, and some fresh basil. Top with salt and pepper and then a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and some extra virgin olive oil. Cover and fridge it before presenting to the awaiting audience. Serve with sliced, toasted bread if desired. Eat it.

Caprese Salad
So in an effort to redeem herself, my lady made this fucking awesome Caprese Salad for me tonight. This has been a regular dish in our home for quite some time and it never fails to please, like your mom. This is the recipe according to my woman:
Cut up one heirloom tomato (i.e. the hippie kind) and an 8oz package of fresh mozzarella cheese into large slices. Layer that shit: 1 tomato slice, 1 mozzarella slice, and some fresh basil. Top with salt and pepper and then a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and some extra virgin olive oil. Cover and fridge it before presenting to the awaiting audience. Serve with sliced, toasted bread if desired. Eat it.

That's what I'm talking about! You're lady knows how to cook Alex... unlike you because you're a total asshole;-)
Whatever dude...it was pure luck and devoid of any skill whatsoever.
Still looks good though...
It was delicious
Ha, Ha! You said "like your mom"! I must make this shit tonight!
I also heard your mother is a streetwalking crackhead

ROFL! Well, then.....you'd be the first!
I am displeased that my pic of the beautiful purple heirloom tomato didn't make the post! It is KEY to making this salad.You have to have a flavorful tomato or its just not as good...
I agree Heather... you can't just throw any crappy tomato on there. I have little green tomatoes budding outside as we type... I can't wait for them to ripen... caprese here I come!
Friggin hilarious. I've read one post and I'm laughing my ass off. The rest of us are taking this shit to seriously! I'm hooked.
Damn right!
I'm having guests over this weekend. I think I'll make this (I may even take a pic and send it to you so you can make fun of me). :)
You better!
This one of my favorites. I even take it to parties.
This is a fantastic party dish due to its wonderful presention of colors
