Whether picked from your garden or a farmers market bin, Utah’s vine-ripened tomatoes are now at their peak. And while there are countless ways to celebrate them this season, for us, caprese tops the list. These easy-to-make caprese variations of this classic salad will let you serve and savor it your way.

Sliced hothouse tomatoes +

Grape tomatoes +
Bocconcini / Olives / Arugula
Balsamic vinegar / Olive Oil

WHAT YOU NEED:
Half a yellow tomato +
Goat cheese / Prepared Pesto
