A Caprese Salad is a dish near and dear to my heart. It contains fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Three of my favorite things…yes, I sang that.  If you don’t know why… I don’t know if we can be friends.

I have seen this recipe on social media and it looks so good. Its almost always made for fresh tomatoes, and that’s okay, I am not against that at all… however I like this recipe with fire roasted canned tomatoes. I just like the taste … That is what makes recipes so much fun… they are changeable and personal.

Let me know what you think of these mushrooms, perfect for meatless Mondays and totally vegetarian!
