Pesto Summer Caprese

Pesto Summer Caprese

A fresh, no-fuss twist on the classic caprese. Juicy heirloom tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and a bold drizzle of Besto come together for the perfect summer appetizer. Finished with olive oil, balsamic glaze, and fresh basil — it’s cool, vibrant, and made to impress on hot days.

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6–7 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 lbs fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn
  • ½ cup Besto
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
