Recipe for Caprese Salad with Grilled Endive
Great instructions for grilling endive can be found here, from Paula. Endive is super healthy and it's so delicious when cooked this way: don't let the summer go by without giving it a try on the grill.
Servings: 0 serves 2-4
Ingredients
- *2 heads of California endive grilled (visit my friend Paula for endive grilling instructions)
- *2 perfectly ripe tomatoes sliced pretty thick
- *1/2-1 ball of fresh mozzarella cheese depending on the size; use one made locally, if possible, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced about the same thickness as the tomatoes
- *1/8-1/4 of a large red onion peeled and thinly sliced- optional
- *a handful of fresh basil leaves: whole or julienned
- *your best olive oil for drizzling
- *your best balsamic vinegar for drizzling- optional
- *coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1. To assemble the salad, arrange the grilled endive, tomato, mozzarella, and red onion slices in alternating layers so they look pretty :)
- 2. Sprinkle the basil leaves on top, then drizzle with the olive oil and optional vinegar. Sprinkle salt and pepper onto the salad before serving.
