Description
If you're looking to make fresh and authentic Italian appetizers, snacks, or main dishes, it doesn't have to be complicated! The Caprese Salad is a great example. For the classic version, all you need are three fresh ingredients: tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella cheese. (And for an even better flavor, make sure you use the fresh mozzarella cheese and locally grown Hy-Vee Homegrown tomatoes!) Using these classic caprese ingredients, we gave BLTs, Dutch Babies, and Eggplant Parmesan, an easy caprese twist.
