Caprese Ensalada

My Nana was an amazing woman, perhaps you guessed that since I dedicated the name of this blog to her.Today as I enjoyed making my fresh Caprese Ensalada I thought of the many ways she influenced my life and how I hope I am like her.

It was along side of Nana that I learned to appreciate handmade, fresh, home grown and honesty.

Although I do not remember her ever making Caprese Ensalada, if she would have known of it she would have enjoyed it too I'd bet. Her backyard had a tidy row of tomato plants each year. She served them up fresh with a sprinkling of sugar or salt... yes, she would have enjoyed this dish!
