     Spinach Caprese Salad

 5 ounces baby spinach

1 pint cherry tomatoes halved

8 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls

 

Basil Vinaigrette

 

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped basil leaves (6-8 leaves)

1 garlic clove minced

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon kosher salt

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir the balsamic, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl or jar. You can also prepare the dressing in a blender.

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. If you’re making the dressing in a blender then run the blender on low while slowly pouring the oil through the opening in the lid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Place the spinach in a large serving bowl. Top with cherry tomatoes halves and mozzarella pearls.  

Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired. Stir or shake the dressing well before serving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Storage: For the longest lasting salad, store the tomatoes separate from the spinach. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Refrigerate the dressing for up to 7 days.
