Another farmer's market Sunday morning for me yielded some beautiful plump tomatoes, some peppery arugula and of course some Zeke's coffee :) It was the day of my grandmother's 90th birthday party. Grandmam is one incredible lady and I can only hope to one day be as amazing of a woman as she is. I wanted to bring an easy party dish so decided to make a very shareable style of caprese salad, with some arugula to add some spiciness to the mix. I've made the skewers of caprese before but this was definitely a more time saving dish to make, and I also strayed from the standard caprese salad of large layers of mozz and tomato to keep things easy to eat while mingling and partying down with Grandmam.

With the Zeke's cameo, so you know these are legit farmers market tomatoes:
Voila!
Caprese Party Dish
by GreensForMe- 1 ball fresh mozzarella
- 8-9 small heirloom tomatoes
- 3 large handfuls arugula
- 1 handful basil
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- salt & pepper
Start by cutting up your mozzarella and your tomatoes into cubes or bite-sized slices. Roughly chop the arugula and basil. Place all in a medium sized mixing bowl and drizzle with about 3 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar. Season with salt & pepper, toss, and place in serving bowl. Super easy, healthy and perfect for sharing.
Happy 90th, Grandmam! XOXOXOXOXO
