Caprese Wrap

Posted on September 19, 2013 by Lanie Fioretti

We’re still getting lots of small tomatoes from the garden, and we’ve made a lot of roasted tomato sauce, but we wanted a change.  This recipe was a pretty fun and delicious way to make Caprese salad for a summer appetizer.  You wrap the ingredients like you would for Spring Rolls.

Spice up your summer entertaining with this scrumptious treat.  And wash it down with a Moscow Mule, our new summer drink of choice (you can find ginger beer at large grocers, like HEB). I used a polenta crust in this version, but you could just as easily make a nut crust instead.  Process nuts, like…
