Caprese Salad

How great is Pinterest? It's an endless deluge of one great idea after another! I've gotten inspiration for so many projects and recipes from that site. I rarely copy the ideas exactly, but I followed the instructions on this blog pretty closely to make a tasty spin on a Caprese Salad. It was SO DELICIOUS!

My mouth is watering!

It was so quick and easy to make. I left about a tablespoon or more of the olive oil out and put in about that much balsamic vinegar in instead. It added a lot of flavor and subtracted over 100 calories from the dish. I also left out the parsley, salt, pepper, and optional baguette. I thought it was plenty flavorful without all of that. Each of the 6 servings came to right around 260 calories, almost 10 grams of protein, and 6 grams of carbs. Not bad for something that was so flavorful, protein-packed, and easy to make! This would be great to put with some grilled chicken.
