Caprese Salad

My first blog-stop on Thursday mornings, the 4 Moms, 35 Kids, is hosting a linkup for summer/picnic recipes. 

To be honest, we haven't exactly been picnicing much, because it's been unbearably hot most days, and when it hasn't been that, it's been raining. But, we do have a garden that is filling ours and lots of our neighbors homes with lots of fresh produce, and I've been making this salad because it helps use some of that produce, and keeps me from having to turn on the oven in this heat.  Also, because I have IBS, my digestive system cannot tolerate a lot of raw foods, but it can tolerate this (yay!)  Anyway, enough about me, and on to the recipe!  Oh, a warning... I don't really measure, but I included to the right of the ingredients the amount I used when we shared with a family of six (before our veggies came on), and it was enough for us as a group of 10 eaters.

Caprese Salad

Cherry tomatoes, halved (1 pkg)
Fresh Mozzerella, cut into chunks/cubes (1 pkg)
Basil, roughly shredded (10 leaves)
A drizzle of olive oil (a bigger drizzle)
Baby spinach (optional) (one bag)

Mix it all together.  Eat it.
