I love caprese salad. Its simple, fresh and delicious. Paired with quinoa, this makes a complete meal. The key is to dress this salad very lightly, too much balsamic will interfere with the delicate flavors. I used smoked mozzerella for flavor and English cucumber for crunch. This is a healthy dinner that can be prepared in less than 15 minutes! Try it tonight.
