deconstructed caprese bruschetta
I love Caprese salad. My daughter made this more in the Greek fashion using fetta cheese and no balsamic vinegar, basil or garlic. I thought, why don't I make this the Italian way by adding the addition of balsamic vinegar, garlic and basil. It was just as fresh and delicious as my daughter's dish. This is a light and delicious appetizer.
