Default Lunch - Caprese

<http://i1.tinypic.com/n1fkvc.jpg>

Nice and simple. Good mozzarella di bufala, ripe tomato halves, fresh
basil chiffonade, wine vinegar and olive oil, salt and pepper. Bread I made.

Satisfying.

Sounds yum- I like my ensalada caprese with all of the aforementioned
minus the vinegar and with some thin sliced white onion and parmesan
reggiano shaved on top. Kev

That's one the most delicious dishes in the world. Where are you
finding good tomatoes this time of year?

I'd call it heaven on a plate. I prefer it light on the oil, no
vinegar, and heavy on the coarse-ground pepper. Vinegar toughens the
proteins in the cheese and makes it rubbery.

Yes. I thought I could maybe open a meatloaf, caprese restaurant that
featured bubble tea. I bet it would make a million. I'd sit in the back,
smoke cigars (kof), drink champagne and count the bucks while the little
people worked...

Astonishingly, they were at Kroger as a special purchase. Largish cherry
tomatoes that I left on the counter for a couple days to finish ripening
(just in case) - not the fridge. They were wonderfully acid, very juicy
and full-flavored. Of course when I went looking for more today, there
weren't any.

I've had those, they are terrific. Very nice and tomatoey, pretty
red all the way through. I have seen a big improvement in supermarket
winter tomatoes over the last decade. I look for the Uglies, too,
they're quite good. (I might have spelled Uglies wrong, sorry)

Very nice to see! Artistic!
Ohhhhhhhh! Clever! BTW I wouldn't put vinegar over tomatoes and cheese.
I always season my caprese with black pepper and sometimes oregano (when I
have no basil). The remaining ingredients are like yours.
Cheers
