Strawberry Caprese Salad with mint.
Description
I have always loved a classic Caprese but have you tried the same with fresh strawberries? It tastes absolutely amazing, slightly tangy, and a bit of sweet with a dash of mint & lots of basil.
You can skip mozzarella if you are a vegan & can add just the olive oil.
Can also add toasted nuts such as pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds for that additional crunch if you like.
