Fresh and Healthy Caprese Salad Recipe
If it’s late Summer where you live and tomatoes are in an abundance, this Caprese Salad Recipe is a great way to use them in a healthy and delicious way.
This recipe comes courtesy of my new book, Meal Prep Cookbook for Men.
Even if it’s not Summer, Caprese Salad is a fresh and aromatic side dish to accompany any meal or to just have as a healthy snack.
This recipe is designed to be used as a meal prep but it can be used for a family dinner or Summer BBQ as well.
