Sweet Twist: Roasted Tomato Strawberry Caprese Salad

Today’s Unique Recipe: Roasted Tomato and Strawberry Caprese Salad

I’m excited to share a one-of-a-kind twist on the classic Caprese salad that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the savory flavors of roasted tomatoes. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or as a refreshing side dish for a summer barbecue.

Ingredients:

• cherry tomatoes (200g)
• strawberries (150g)
• fresh basil leaves (10g)
• fresh mozzarella cheese (150g)
• balsamic glaze
• olive oil
• salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• spoon

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.

While the tomatoes are roasting, thinly slice the strawberries and fresh mozzarella. Once the tomatoes are done, let them cool slightly before assembling the salad.

In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted tomatoes, sliced strawberries, and fresh mozzarella. Tear the basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze and a bit more olive oil. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 660g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 165g, with an estimated calorie count of 200 calories per serving.

Clever Tip:

For an extra burst of freshness, try sprinkling some lemon zest over the salad before serving. The citrus will complement the sweet strawberries and tangy balsamic glaze perfectly!
