Caprese Salad

This Caprese Salad recipe is about as simple, but delicious, as it gets in Italian cuisine. There are a variety of ways to prepare and plate, but the simplest method using whole slices and leaves seems to be the best for me. I sometimes substitute Avocado in place of the Mozzarella for a slightly healthier version.
