Patriotic Caprese Salad
This Patriotic Caprese Salad is a fun twist on a classic! Traditional caprese salads consist of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a balsamic glaze. In this recipe I added some blueberries for a fun fruity and festive look. You can make this salad dairy free as well by using a mozzarella alterative! I highly encourage you to use star cutouts for the mozzarella because it gives the salad an extra festive touch. This recipe is a fun side dish to bring to a 4th of July or Memorial Day get together!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 8 oz cup dairy free mozzarella
- 1/4 cup basil leaves
- Balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Carefully slice the grape tomatoes into halves and pour into a bowl.
- Carefully slice the basil into small thin pieces and add to the bowl along with the fresh blueberries and mix everything together
- Take some dairy free or regular mozzarella and use a small star cut out to make star shaped cheese pieces.
- Add the star mozzarella to the bowl and top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Serve, and enjoy!
