Servings 2 People

Ingredients

caprese salad

  • 2 large ripe tomatoes of choice
  • 4 bocconcini balls
  • 1 tbls pesto
  • 2 tsp pine nuts

Salad dressing

  • 1 tbls homemade apricot jam
  • 2 tbls macadamia nut oil or other nut oil of choice
  • 3-4 tbls raspberry vinegar
  • Squeeze lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare salad

  • Slice tomatoes into 5-6 slices each and lay them on 2 side plates
  • Slice the bocconcini balls to share evenly on top of each slice of tomato.
  • Add the pesto on top of the cheese

Salad dressing

  • Place all the ingredients in a small jug and whisk together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Test to make sure the balance of sweet to sour to oil ratio works. I’m a super taster and this is a good balance for me. Brian is not, so he only really gets the flavour when it’s mixed with the tomatoes. Trust me, it’s good, Brian licked his plate.
  • Drizzle dressing over tomato salad and serve at room temperature.
  • Sprinkle with pine nuts to finish.
