I love grilling. That’s a known fact in our household. I love the mess being outside all summer long, and I love being able to breathe the fresh air while I cook. I decided I wanted to make a yummy grilled version of one of my favorite Italian dishes, caprese salad.
Obviously I was not about to grill a salad, but I decided to grill some chicken, tomato and top it off with some delicious balsamic glaze, fresh mozz, and fresh basil from my garden. I paired it with a side of farfalle tossed in marinara.
It was so easy to make and was a real hit with my husband. I hope you give this a try and if you do, let me know what you think!
