Recipe Notes

I know that I’m ranting and raving about Prague as I drool over this Caprese Salad, but I think most of us agree that the origin of this classic combination is undoubtedly Italian.  I crave these basic flavors in everything from salads to grilled items to any other combo I can get my hands on.  Classics are so for a reason, no?

What is your favorite way to enjoy these beautiful flavors?
