Ingredients

1 large Round French Boule bread

3-4 large ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks

Fresh mozzarella cut into chunks

2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

Handful of fresh basil, chop some and leave one small sprig for garnish.

Dash of oregano or chopped fresh if you have it.

Extra-virgin olive oil

Balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

You will have to determine how flavorful you would like your dressing and I usually just do by taste not measurements.

Cut the upper top off of the round bread, like you are making a cap for it.

Using a sharp knife, hollow out the bread and cut that into chunks for eating with the salad.

Brush inside of bread and top of cap with olive oil and place under the broiler for 7-10 minutes until just beginning to get brown.

Mix all dressing ingredients together and toss with the tomatoes and mozzarella.

Pour the tomatoes into the bread bowl and garnish with the bread lid and a sprig of fresh basil.

The bread will absorb the vinagarette flavors and it is fun with a group to just break bread together while enjoying the wonderful flavors.

I love Insalata Caprese, and serving it in a bread bowl would give me one more excuse to eat too much of it. Thanks for sharing! - Natalie
