cucumber & tomato salad caprese
I have seven children - all with different likes and dislikes. Half are vegetarian. Some more vegetarian than others :) But all of them love this salad and ask for it all the time. The presentation is beautiful and tastes so good! I teach my children, presentation is everything in cooking. At least I try, doesn't always come out the way I like. Anyhoo, this is a lovely, fresh, healthy salad. Did I say it is pretty too? ;)

Red tomatoe slices - one row, cucumber slices - next row, yellow tomatoe slices -another row, and mozzarella slices outside row. Or if you have a good eye, mix them up - whatever looks good to you.
