Caprese Salad. You know, I have zero idea why I have never posted a recipe for Caprese Salad before. Maybe because it is so simple and I assume people just know about it. It can literally be thrown together and on the table in a couple of minutes. I originally bought the ingredients because I was going to make myself a personal size lowcarb Cheese Pizza and then I was going to make heaping plate full of Chicken Parmesan over Sprouts and you know how it goes, life changes on a dime and many times so do my food plans. I did add a small chunked up avocado because all the flavors go so well together so…add some or not, your choice. I never did make that pizza but I did end up having Caprese Salad a couple times more. Oh Well.
